Favorite Mason Memory: The Elite Eight Game against Connecticut at the Verizon Center. Connecticut was a top seeded team that year for the tournament and nobody thought Mason could beat them. I can still picture the Huskies missing the 3 pointer as time ran out in overtime and the place erupting! It was unbelievable! Go Mason!
Plans: I will be starting grad school at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London in September to get my Masters in Middle East Politics and to study Arabic. After that, its anyone’s guess, but I hope to stay international.
Why I chose Mason: As President Merten says- location, location, location. I toured all the major Virginia university campuses my Junior and Senior year in High School. Mason was my last tour and it was the only place that hit me, it felt right at Mason and I did not feel that way about any of the other schools. Everything imaginable is at your fingertips at Mason
