Best bit of advice for students looking for a college/university? Visit all the campuses that you are interested in attending. Get to know the Faculty/Staff and students to get a feel for the atmosphere of campus.
Most embarrassing "college" moment: While giving campus tours as a Presidential Ambassador I would walk backwards in order to talk to the people (and look cool). I have tripped on more than one occasion making myself look like a clumsy person.
Years working at SUU: 2 years.
