My name is Jared Farnsworth I'm from Roanoke,
Virginia and I'm an Elementary Education major.
My name is Alecia Epp, I am from Eldersburg,
Maryland and I'm a Health Services Administration
major.
My name's Camisha Matthews and I'm from Round
Hill Virginia and I'm a Graphic Design major.
I love JMU because of the community of people.
I've found amazing people amazing ways to
be involved. When I came I fell in love with
it. I fell in love with the people here. It
feels very small yet it's still very big.
There's a niche here for everyone.
Well, I've always been interested in art ever
since I was a kid and I, like, slowly developed
from art into a more graphic-based into the
computer. So I transferred my art into the
computer work and I realized I really love
this.
My major is a perfect blend, I believe so
I kind of wanted a mix between healthcare
and business so I decided on Health Services
Administration.
What I hope to do in the future with Elementary
Education major is working maybe in a sixth
grade math class. I'm volunteering in one
now and it's really inspired me to stay on
the track of math because I do enjoy math
and getting to teach it all day would be great.
So I volunteer at Emeritus, which is an assisted
living facility and I just get to go in there
and just hang out with all of the elderly
adults that live there and kind of get to
know them, so, I think that was a very big
eye-opening experience for me.
I work on campus as a graphic designer for
the Health Center Student Wellness and Outreach.
I'm also an RA here at JMU. I'm in the arts
dorm, which is Wayland Hall.
I actually get to see my graphic design go
out and be used all around campus. It's an
exchange that you don't get in the classroom.
It's really cool to be that person where they
feel comfortable to come to and... I don't
know, it's just helped me grow and it's also
going to help me when I'm a teacher too.
