WHY CLARKSON—"I chose Clarkson because of its esteemed academic reputation. As a student, I knew I desired to be challenged in the classroom, and Clarkson provided me with that opportunity. Also, the team atmosphere was extremely inviting and I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of. Our coaches' experience as Division I athletes and their hard work ethic sets a great example and I knew they would be able to bring out the best in me. "
