Greek life immediately felt like home. At the end of the day, it’s a true brotherhood. This is my family.

I woke up on May 1, the decision day, and put on a Fitchburg State sweatshirt. I felt in my heart that this was where I was supposed to be.

One of my best friends came here the year before me, and then Coach (Dean) Fuller ended up giving me a call and invited me to check it out. I met the team and loved the campus.

From the very beginning I loved the opportunity to get to know students and their concerns, and to give voice to their concerns in a productive way.

I really learned that I love to give back when I was at Fitchburg State. It stuck with me, and I’ve continued giving back in my hometown. Fitchburg State University really changed my life.

I had never led something before. This was the first time that people were looking at me, and I had to be in charge. That will help in the classroom, and it was the first step out of my comfort zone.

When you graduate, you don’t just have a degree. I made sure those four years of growth weren’t just academic growth.

I came to Fitchburg State not knowing anyone except for my freshman year roommate. I’ve met lots and lots of people. There is not a time I walk across campus and don't see someone that I know, and I have both Dance Club and Greek life to thank for that.

Leaving law school and going into the workforce, I really leaned on my time in student government and the Board of Trustees. These experiences were really instrumental in giving me the confidence to say, I belong here.

My political science simulations taught me communications and management skills. Even if I don’t agree with you, I can understand your position so we can try to meet in the middle.
