My Semester Reflection

I feel like freshman year has been a time of growth—both academic and personal--lessons learned, and a time for trying new things. There were a lot of important academic and social milestones as well. For example, I think that I excelled in my classes and put in much more time and effort than ever needed in high school. This year was much more academically difficult, but I would say that I rose to the challenge, and even excelled! I was recommended to be a learning assistant and given a opportunity as a lab assistant in the fall. I earned the treasurer executive board position for next school year on the FGCU Women’s Lacrosse team. I served as council delegate for Palmetto Hall’s area council. I attended society of women engineers and wildlife club meetings. I also attended lots of Honors College events and was a member of the manatee house. I dipped my toe in the water of research with a graduate student. I met many amazing professors, and I am excited to meet more. And I made lots of...

My Student Enhancement Plan

My student enhancement plan is an embodiment of my academic, professional, and personal goals for involvement during my time at FGCU. Despite highlighting my five year plan to graduation, many of my goals included deadlines for spring, summer, and fall of this year to keep me an active student. My academic and professional goals are aligned because taking classes catered to a career in environmental engineering and a minor in geology will help me prepare for a future internship and career. The student enhancement plan did prove to be a good motivational tool and broaden my social,academic, and professional network at FGCU. Below is a link to my SEP for Spring and Summer of 2021 Semesters, as well as Fall and Spring 2021-2022. SEP Spring and Summer 2021 SEP Fall and Spring 2021-2022

  “FGCU Remembers: The Covid Memorial Project.” Visited on: March 22 nd , 2021 at 8:27 AM I heard about this art display on March 21 st (my birthday!) through FGCU’s main Instagram account page. The caption read: “thousands of hand-sculpted tributes going up on FGCU’s Great Lawn as a powerful visual memorial to the scores of individuals lost to COVID-19. “The art installation is called: “Field of Remembrance, Cathedral of Sky” as stated in the caption on Instagram. I really wanted to go and see it because so many people’s lives were lost this past year to COVID, that it is difficult to picture the amount in our minds. Seeing the visual representation on the library lawn was a sad but eye-opening experience because I was able to visually quantify the number of lives lost to the virus just locally in SWFL. I noticed that some of the flowers were painted with a brown and blue rim, whereas others were left white. I also noticed that it seemed as if each flower was handmade instead...

  Wasmer Art Gallery: 23 rd Annual Juried Student Exhibition Visited on: March 19 th at 1:00PM, March 22 nd at 12:30PM Reflection: The art Wasmer gallery was hosting its student exhibition from March 19 th - April 1 st , and I was lucky enough to see it twice in that time! The first time I visited however, I forgot to take any pictures as proof of going so I went back with a friend the second time. I am so impressed by the artists on this campus! Some of my favorite pieces, which I will picture below, include Adrian Cruz’s Skull Life , 2020 in ceramic and Eric Loya’s Dystopia Utopia #1-3, 2020 graphic design collection. One that I did not take a picture of, but I loved as well was Megan McCarthy’s Sunlight Kisses , 2021 which was acrylic pain on canvas. Overall, my socks were knocked off by this art, to put it quite plainly. March 19th was my first time ever going into the Wasmer art building on campus. I was showing a girl that I tutor for high school math the campus, an...
