How has Bright participation enhanced your college experience at UNI? Being a part of the Bright Foundation has given me the opportunity to become more involved in activities. There is also an amazing amount of support that has helped me reach my goals and plan out my future. 

What is you favorite part about being in Bright? My favorite part would be the support and the opportunities that I normally wouldn't have. There is so much Bright offers that has set me up for success. Events such as the Bright Symposium include many networking opportunities and a chance to hear from insightful speakers. 

How has your Bright experience prepared you for life after UNI? My Bright experience has helped prepare me to think about how I can give back. I am prepared to be a future oriented thinker and go after a career that does not just benefit me, but more importantly, benefits others. There is also a network of alumni that I can connect with and reach out to!
