“What are your plans for the future?”
“I would like to get a job but if I’m unable to, I would like to go to law school and go from there.”
“Why would you like to go into law?”
“It sparks an interest in me. I would like to go into criminal law. I do like to give the benefit of the doubt, and find a way. It’s like if there’s a will there’s a way. I’m one of those guys who likes to take the road less travelled.”
Fourth year, CCIT and Professional Writing
“What do you consider to be a successful and happy life?”

Second year, Major in Computer Science and Mathematics
“When you’re done University, what is one thing you would like to do that you haven’t had the chance to do yet?”
“When I’m done University, I want to travel to New Zealand. I’m a nature lover, and that place has some beautiful sites to see. I’ve never really had a chance to travel anywhere in my life, so I like the idea of being somewhere that is completely new and unfamiliar to me.”
Third year, DEM Specialist
“What’s one unique or special thing about you?”
“One thing that is special about me is that I always keep positive. I remember at one point in first year here I was failing all of my classes. I told myself that if I kept working hard, it would pay off. I think people always encounter challenges at some point, but keeping a positive outlook is always better instead of giving into failure.”
Third year, Major in CCIT and Theatre and Drama.
“I chose CCIT because I’m looking to go into television or media relations. I am interested in travelling, spreading awareness on different topics, and experiencing new cultures.”
Fourth year, Major in CCIT and Minoring in Cinema Studies, and Art History.
“Is there anything about your life that you would change, why or why not?
“If there is anything I would change about my life it would be to tell those who’ve influenced it the most know how much they mean to me. Sometimes implying it is not enough.”
Fourth year, CCIT

“It would be probably closer to a film noir detective style game.”
Third year, Philosophy, Professional Writing, and Political Writing
“Why do you feel that professional writing is a challenge?”
“I have always been good at writing but I have never thought of myself as a storyteller. I’m more into writing essays so I’ve never written my own story.”
12 Semesters of Teaching, Professional Writing
“What do you feel is your greatest challenge when teaching expressive writing?”

First Year, English and Sociology
“What do you think is your biggest challenge this year?”
