“Sul Ross is so unique. When I got there, I could not believe how different it was and how friendly it was. Changing gears from the urban world to something really rural and beautiful was a fantastic experience. The climate, the people, the landscape, and the university are superb.”
“My heart belongs to that black bear in Big Bend National Park, that’s what started it all. That experience is was got me wanting to do research in the first place. My research with BRI springboarded me into a really unique situation.”
“A lot of it was the hands-on focus. I came from a university with very few hands-on opportunities in the undergraduate program, and that changed when I came to Sul Ross. That’s what attracted me and kept me there.”
