Hey guys! I'm Sydney and I'm from Winter Garden, Florida. I'm a
second-year student and I dual-enrolled during my senior year of
high school. I came to FGCU undecided, but I am now studying
General Management and minoring in Entrepreneurship. After
graduation I plan to move to Tennessee, with hopes to pursue a
job on the production side of the entertainment industry. I am
currently on the Concert Committee in Programming Board,
which has helped me to become more involved on campus and
has given me an outlet for my creativity. In my free time I like to
travel, go off-roading, and I (try to) upload to my YouTube
channel.

Hi Eagles! I’m Logan, and I’m from Pewaukee, WI. I’m a
sophomore looking to go to graduate school to become a
Physician Assistant and graduate from here with a Health
Science major and Chemistry minor. I am currently the
Assistant Director to Chief of Staff in Student Government.
Some things I enjoy are reading, movies, and music. I just
finished reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series. Hot
Rod and The Other Guys are two of my favorite movies.
Anything by Michael Jackson, The 1975, The Weekend is
amazing. “I just like to smile, smiling’s my favorite.” If you
got it, we’re already cool.

time I like to read and bake.

Hey Eagles! I'm Michael and I'm from New Baden, Illinois (a
town fully surrounding by cornfields). I am a third-year
student pursuing a degree in Marketing with a double minor
in Economics and Advertising. I plan to pursue a career in
either the creative side of advertising or in market research. I
was a Resident Assistant last year and I really value how the
position has enabled me to become more involved around
campus and grow as a leader. When I'm not in class or taking
naps, I love to watch movies and read. I also love to stay
active, spending a lot of my free time in the gym or taking
part in different outdoor activities. I've got to be honest
though, this is mostly just to offset the negative health
effects brought on by my Moe's addiction.

Hey, Eagles! I am Colin Mason, and I'm from St. Joseph,
Michigan. I'm a second-year student studying Computer
Information Systems in the Lutgert College of Business. I
plan to pursue a career in Software Engineering in a
larger company after graduating. Currently I am a
delegate for my building's area council, working hard to
plan events and have fun while living on campus. In my
free time, I love watching Netflix, going to Disney, and
playing games with my friends. I also enjoy visiting my
family and going out with friends.

Hey Eagles! I’m Emily and I’m from Tampa, Florida. I am
currently a senior pursuing a dual degree in Biology and
Psychology with plans to go to graduate school to become a
prenatal genetic counselor. My most meaningful experience
at FGCU has been doing a study abroad program to Ghana,
Africa. Ever since then, I have been a huge advocate for
Eagles studying abroad! In my free time, I enjoy going to the
beach and reading.

Hi guys! I'm Sam and I'm from a small suburb of Chicago
called Libertyville. I'm going to be a sophomore in the Fall. I
am currently undeclared but I am leaning towards Resort
and Hospitality Management because I love working with
people and traveling. I am in Programming Board and Best
Buddies and I'm not biased at all, but they're the best
student organizations on campus. In my free time you can
find me at a concert, the beach, or drinking way too much
coffee.

What's up, Eagles? I'm Shawna and I'm from Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. I'm a sophomore studying Bioengineering

just yet, but I plan on going to graduate school to get a
Masters in Engineering or Management. On campus, I'm
greatly involved in Student Government as the Assistant
Director of Governmental Relations, which I hope to
continue. You can find me somewhere taking candids,
spending too much on food, or at the nearest coffee shop.
Also, I hardly sleep so if you need me, odds are I'm awake.
