Transformation Tuesday: Q&A With Angel R. 鈥�23

Q: How has your experience at Dean shaped you? 
Angel: “As a transfer student, you never know what's going to happen when you switch schools from what you thought was the right path for you. When I first arrived at Dean, I was the shy kid with braces who didn't really fit in. Time went by and I am now a very outgoing person who has lots of leadership roles on campus. Not only is Dean a great school to study at, but it's also a place where I found a home away from home.”
Q: What is your favorite memory from your time at Dean?
Angel: “My favorite memory would have to be when I scored my first goal for the men's soccer program. It was truly an unforgettable feeling and rush of excitement. My celebration was top tier too!”
Q: How has Dean prepared you for the future?
Angel: “Dean has brought me to heights I didn't know were imaginable. After I graduate, I will be attending Bryant University to obtain my master’s degree. That wouldn't be possible with the help of Thea Cerio, Kristin Fitzgerald, and the entire Success and Career Advising office.”
