What do you like best about the University?

“I like Averett for the community atmosphere. It’s easy to make new friends and people are always willing to help when the help is needed.”

Why did you choose your path to study?

“The reason I chose to be a criminal justice major is because of my family heritage. My grandfather was a state trooper until he was shot and paralyzed. My father is a police officer, my oldest brother is a state trooper and one of my other brothers works in a juvenile detention center. Also, my mother is a 911 dispatcher. It runs in the family and I am going to continue building that legacy.”
