Introduction: Hey y’all! My name is Faith and I am currently a sophomore Animal and Veterinary Sciences major. I am an ice cream connoisseur, a bit of a thalassophile (I LOVE the ocean), and I enjoy spending time outside whenever possible! After graduating from Clemson, I hope to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian.
My advice for prospective students: My advice for prospective students is to enjoy the rest of high school and the college search! “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Ferris Bueller
Why I chose Clemson and the Honors College: I chose Clemson for the renowned Animal and Veterinary Sciences program and for the Honors College. As an AVS major, I have the opportunity to interact with a variety of livestock and gain hands-on animal experience. As an honors student, I have access to smaller class sizes, classes with unique focuses, and a multitude of honors events held throughout the week in the Honors Center.
My favorite thing about the Honors College: The community! Students and staff alike are always so supportive and are there to help you succeed.

My involvement in Clemson University: Outside of my involvement in the Honors College, I am also the Agriculture and Natural Resources Chair for the Block and Bridle Club and the Historian for the Pre-Vet Club.
