�Ӱ�ר���I always feel so excited and proud when I hit that �Ӱ�ר���Aha!�Ӱ�ר��� moment. Solving the problems that we face in this industry is always challenging, but the end product is always worth it, especially when you get the opportunity to work on something that you know is going to have a positive impact on someone�Ӱ�ר���s life.�Ӱ�ר���

�Ӱ�ר���My plan is to become a college professor with a focus on teaching �Ӱ�ר��� or enter the realm of science communication, or some combination of these fields. My love for communicating science to non-scientists started at UL Lafayette in The Learning Center.�Ӱ�ר���

�Ӱ�ר���I chose to study computer science because I believe that software has made the world a better place, and I want to be a part of that change."

"I chose biology because I have always absolutely loved science. I also love helping and providing for others. Earning a degree in biology gives me the opportunity to do both in future career paths.�Ӱ�ר���

�Ӱ�ר���I chose informatics because it seemed like the perfect blend of technology, business, and creativity. I am so glad I did because it helped me get where I am today in my career. I learned invaluable technical, business, and software skills.�Ӱ�ר���

"I like how UL Lafayette is a big enough university to have a variety of programs and research, but is also small enough that you are a person �Ӱ�ר��� rather than a number �Ӱ�ר��� to your professors. I truly feel supported and that they care about my education."

"I was afforded so many amazing opportunities at UL Lafayette to further my knowledge in ways that not many students get to. There is no other school in the state of Louisiana that has ever launched satellites into orbit."

�Ӱ�ר���It�Ӱ�ר���s all close-knit so you build these relationships and it�Ӱ�ר���s like a second family. There�Ӱ�ר���s a lot of opportunities, like with the conference, and there�Ӱ�ר���s internships. They�Ӱ�ר���re willing to give you opportunities to further yourself.�Ӱ�ר���

�Ӱ�ר���My decision to study environmental science stems from my childhood obsession with nature, plants, and being able to spend time outdoors. These are natural resources that I believe every human should have the opportunity to enjoy. Studying environmental science gives me the opportunity to leave the world better than I found it."

�Ӱ�ר���I really enjoyed the classes that had projects to build things that were similar to real-world applications, such as the database and video game classes."
