Spotlight Questions:
I was born and raised in Phoenix. I have always known of GCU, and have been excited to see the growth and success of the campus within the past few years. I liked the fact that GCU was a Christian university, as my Christian faith is something that is very important to me. I wanted to go somewhere I could grow in my faith and discover what I am passionate about. GCU would often visit my high school, and during my senior year I decided it was the right fit for me. I am now in my third year and could not be happier with the decision I made.

The thing I most enjoy about GCU is the community. Living on campus, I have made many friendships that I know will last a lifetime, and I am very thankful for this. I have loved being involved on campus by attending events, going to Chapel and being involved in a Life Group. I have also enjoyed my role as a student at GCU. I am a communication major, and I enjoy my classes and am thankful for the opportunity to learn new things each day. I have been very blessed to have professors who are passionate about teaching and building relationships with their students.

My advice to future GCU students would be to find a way to get plugged in on campus. There are so many great things to be involved in, such as joining a club or going to a Life Group. The relationships I have made on campus have been such a blessing, so I encourage future students to be involved in some way. I would also encourage future students to build relationships with their professors. The professors at GCU are very passionate about what they do, and I have gained so much knowledge from talking with them. Lastly, I would also encourage future students to try something new and step out of their comfort zone. For example, I am secretary of Lambda Pi Eta, the National Communication Association’s honor society. I never thought I would be able to be in a leadership position like this, but it has been very rewarding and I have grown in so many ways because of this experience.
