  • I chose Fisher actually because

  • I had a meeting with Dr. Picardo

  • who was the head of the biology department

  • and she showed me around the labs, she let me wear a lab coat

  • I thought that was really cool

  • and she was really nice, very kind and caring

  • I could tell she really cared about what students were here and she was interested in showing me all the details

  • of the biology department

  • which was different from other colleges I visited

  • they didn’t seem as interested as they did here

  • So that’s why I chose Fisher

  • Well I always knew I wanted to do something in the medical field

  • for a while I wanted to be a pediatrician

  • and that actually grew into the dental field

  • I have a lot of relative in the dental field

  • and I’m actually going to UB dental next year

  • and I knew that biology was the first step in my goal of going to dental school

  • When I started out here

  • the first club I joined was the Teddi Dance for Love

  • and I was a committee member for two years

  • then when I was a sophomore I took the peer advising class

  • and it all just kind of had a snowball effect from there

  • I was a peer advisor and I got into student government association

  • my junior year I was the secretary and then my senior year I am the vice president of operations for SGA

  • I’ve been a peer advisor for two years

  • I was on the orientation team as an orientation team member for one year

  • this past year I served as a student orientation coordinator

  • and the past two years I’ve also been the developmental captain for the Teddi Dance for Love

  • My favorite memory would have to be everything from SGA

  • The past two years have been really great from executive boards

  • weve gone on retreats to Philadelphia and Virginia Beach

  • where we got to meet up with different SGAs from different colleges

  • and I really got to know the members from my executive board

  • and we have a lot of meetings but there’s also a lot of fun times as well

  • on those retreats but also just being in the office has been great

  • and its given me a lot of good meetings with senate

  • senate all our executive board meetings different meetings that have gone on for hours and hours on end

  • but it's always been great

  • My favorite spot is right here in the SGA office

  • you can get a lot of work done here but you can also procrastinate a lot in here

  • because a lot of my friends do hangout in here

  • The computers outside are great

  • as well as having the office in here to get stuff done for SGA

  • so it definitely is my favorite spot to hangout

  • but I also get to work on a lot of school workout in here as well

  • In two words I would describe my experience here as very rewarding

  • I’ve had a great academic four years in the biology department

  • theyve really prepared me for dental school and taking the dental admissions test

  • but also the involvement I’ve gotten here at Fisher was fantastic

  • I was never involved in high school

  • and it wasn’t till really my junior year I started getting involved

  • and I wish I’d gotten involved sooner because its been such a great and rewarding part of my four years here at Fisher
