Why did you choose Schreiner?
I chose Schreiner because I automatically felt at home the moment I walked on campus. Everyone was so friendly, and I knew that Schreiner was where I wanted to grow as an individual. After completing Mountaineer day, I knew that I belonged here and wanted to call this my home away from home.
How has Schreiner helped you reach your goals?
Schreiner has helped me reach my goals in many ways in the past two semesters I have been able to join a sorority, become a Schreiner student ambassador, present at a conference in New Mexico, be a top student presenter at Schreiner Pop Con, travel to Puerto Rico with Campus Ministry and our president, and most importantly make relationships with some of the best professors and classmates.
What advice would you give to an incoming Freshman?
GET INVOLVED! Never in a million years would I have thought to be involved on campus. I used to always think that big schools were the only ones that held large events and had lots of organizations. I was wrong, because at Schreiner there is definitely something for everyone. There’s also tons of events going on around the school year that SAB puts together to get away from the everyday academic life and they’re always really fun to go to!
Where is your favorite study spot?
As a STEM major I would have to say that the STEMZone is my favorite spot of all time. Mostly because it is open 24/7 and there’s always someone there to help you out with any homework help. It also has these really cool desks that help you stay focused and the chairs have USB ports in them to charge your devices!
Favorite restaurant in Kerrville?
My favorite spot definitely has to be Mary’s Tacos. They have the best handmade tortillas and they remind me a lot of home cooking, and they’re super-fast.
What RSO are you in and why did you join?
I am in STEM Connection, student worker at CPDP, Ambassador, and Alpha Sigma Alpha. I joined these mostly because I wanted to become more involved in campus. This has definitely helped me out because a lot of these organizations motivate me to give it my all.
Favorite Campus Events?
My favorite campus events are all the ones put on by SAB (Student Activities Board), they always have something that is so fun, and it always is a great distraction for when your classes start to get a little more hectic. My all-time favorite has to be BINGO, SAB has this event every semester and they always give out amazing prizes that are super useful!

Hometown:
Since my father was in the Air-force I consider many places my hometown. I was born in Abilene, Texas but have moved around the world. My second hometown would be Turkey because my mother is Turkish and it has been a huge factor in my life. I grew up spending a majority of my life in Turkey either visiting every chance we got or actually living there.
Classification: I am a sophomore this year at Schreiner University.
Major: I am working towards getting my BSN.
Why did you choose Schreiner?
I chose Schreiner because I knew I wanted to become a nurse and they have an exceptional nursing program. Everything they offered from the student to teacher ratio, the free tutoring for any class and all the activities held on campus. They also just started a wrestling program and I knew I wanted to be apart of an up and coming program. The beautiful campus was also a huge plus.
How has Schreiner helped you reach your goals?
Like I stated before Schreiner offers free tutoring and the student to teacher ratio is very reasonable. With the free tutoring I can go in and get help and not worry about falling behind. All the teacher and staff at Schreiner want the best for you so they will go out of their way to help you.
What advice would you give to an incoming Freshman?
Some of the best advice I could give the freshman would be to learn how to manage your time. Do not wait till the last minute to do all your homework and study for all your quizzes and tests. Do not be afraid to reach out for help if you don’t get certain topics or are not sure about a decision. Everybody is willing to help so make sure you reach out.
Where is your favorite study spot?
My favorite study spot is in the back of the library in one the study rooms.
Favorite restaurant in Kerrville?
Chili’s
What Athletic sport/program are you in and why did you join?
I am in the Wrestling program because I wrestled in high school and fell in love with the sport. When I heard of the up and coming program I knew I wanted to be apart of it.
Favorite Campus Events?
My favorite campus event was the beach bingo. You get to win amazing prizes and also have fun with a bunch of your close friends and have the opportunity to meet new people. Other events that came close are the open mics that Schreiner holds, the intramural games and the food parties the individual dorms put together.

Why SU?
I chose Schreiner because the moment I stepped on campus I had a sense of belonging through which I knew that this University was where my college education career needed to start.
SU helping me reach my goals:
Schreiner has given me opportunities that I would not have dreamed of. It has guided me in achieving my career goals through the help of my advisors, it has taught me to grow as a person and an athlete through my professors and my coaches, and it has allowed me to find my own achievement through experience.
Advice to an incoming freshman:
It will take time to learn how to transition into adulthood, but just because you fail doesn’t mean you lost. Learn how to study in a way that benefits your needs, learn what works and what doesn’t when it comes to timing your priorities, and most of all don’t give up.
Favorite study spot:
The STEM Zone
Favorite restaurant in Kerrville?
Bumdoodlers
Sport:
I am one of the captains on the Shotgun team. I have been involved in the sport since high school and when I first started shooting with Schreiner’s team, I realized I wasn’t just joining another athletic group but rather a family.

Schreiner has helped me reach my goals by providing all the resources to be successful. If that is the tutoring center, career advising, or even studying abroad, there are plenty of ways Schreiner has helped me reach my goals.
What advice would you give to an incoming freshman?
I would say get involved in an organization on campus! Don’t just stay in your room for your whole first year. Joining an organization is where you will meet some of your closest friends.

The Stem Zone or the library are some of my favorite spots to study!

Breakfast: Mary’s Tacos

All of these great organizations allow me to further develop my leadership skills while also creating lifelong friendships and professional relationships.
Favorite Campus events:
There are so many events that happen on campus, but some of my favorites would be: SAB events, Late-night Breakfast, Popcon, Mountaineer Camp, and a bunch of the sporting events!

Why did you choose Schreiner?
I choose Schreiner because throughout my recruitment process to either run track or play football in college, I felt like Schreiner wanted me more than any other university. I felt like I had a home before I even came here.
How has Schreiner helped you reach your goals?
I aspire to become a high school science teacher and track coach and Schreiner has helped me with that goal by providing me oppritunities to student teach in the school of education and by being a team manager for the cross country team allowing me to plan workouts and facilitate practices and meets as a coach would.
What advice would you give to an incoming freshman?
As a mountaineer mentor I do tell all of my freshman to get involved in anything and everything that sounds fun on campus because they already pay for it so might as well take advantage of it.
Favorite study spot:
I actually prefer to study in my apartment because I get distracted in other places to easily.
Favorite restaurant in Kerrville?
Bumdoodlers without a doubt.
What club, sport, activity, program, are you in and why did you join?
I am on the track team because I like to compete for this school to the best of my ability in whatever events gives our team the most chance of success. I am a mountaineer mentor to help the freshman in the transition to adulthood and to help them become the best versions of themselves that they can be. I am in the young republicans club because I have a lot of aligning values with the republican party and I want to be more aware of the political arena and how I can help better our country’s future.
Favorite campus events?
My favorite events on campus are the SAB events because they are fun, free, and bring the whole campus together.
