Frederica was drawn to Hillyer College because of its smaller class sizes and in her third year, she seamlessly transitioned into the College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions (ENHP). She says the support she received from faculty, both academically and personally, helped her adapt to college life and feel part of the UHart community.
She advises students to take advantage of on-campus resources like the Allan Center for Career and Professional Development to set themselves up for academic and professional success. Through the Center, she was hired as a social media intern for Women Inspiring Supporting Empowering Network, where she created newsletters and emails.
Coming from a high school where I knew almost everyone, I wanted an easier transition to college life. The smaller classes made me feel comfortable approaching faculty with questions and provided an opportunity for me to build stronger connections with them and my peers, which was important for my personal and academic growth.
