When deciding where to go to college, high school stand-out Casey Ludolph of Pea Ridge
considered numerous universities as her top choices, but when she arrived for her
campus tour at the 香蕉视频APP, she knew she鈥檇 found her home.
What she didn鈥檛 realize was that UAFS would become where she found her voice and herself.
鈥淚 toured UAFS as a backup because none of the other campuses I toured were places I would want to fall back on,鈥� she said. 鈥淎s soon as I started walking around, I had this feeling of excitement. It felt like home. I was ready; this was it.鈥�
鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 wait to get home and tell everyone that, no matter where else I was accepted, UAFS was for me.鈥�
Though many people tried to sway her decision back to her original first choice, she remained resolute that UAFS was where she was supposed to be. As soon as she arrived on campus, she began making friends, joining organizations, and taking a more active role as a leader.
鈥淚 have always been outgoing and fun loving, but I really was a deep-rooted follower,鈥� she explained. 鈥淎t UAFS, I became someone with a voice. I do things when I know they are the right choice for the positions I chose to take and uphold.鈥�
Ludolph鈥檚 campus leadership positions have since included titles with her sorority鈥檚 executive council, a camp chair for Cub Camp, and president of the Panhellenic Council. She has also attended two national Greek life conferences that she says gave her a passion for what networking and self-growth can do for a person.
Following her graduation this May, Ludolph accepted a fifth-grade teaching position in her home town of Pea Ridge, and she will begin her new career this fall.
鈥淚 am often asked why I love UAFS,鈥� she said. 鈥淎nd I always say, 鈥楾his is where I found Casey.鈥� UAFS made me who I am.鈥�
