Hey guys, my name is Karisa. I’m a current freshman Nursing student at Shenandoah and this is my story from Admitted Freshman Day last year!

My best friend, Sarah, had gotten invited to the Presidential Scholar’s Breakfast and she took me with her as her “Plus One” since none of her family members were able to attend. We were shown to the breakfast room by a guy named Seth. He was an amazing first impression of the students here at SU. Seth helped Sarah and I relax and made some jokes about how there was “Patsy Cline Hashbrown Casserole… since everything in Winchester is Patsy Cline!” He made sure everything was okay before going to see if there were any other new arrivals. The important thing about this interaction is that Seth and I now have our work studies together in Admissions. We’ve become great friends and the work environment is one that I never want to leave behind.

Sarah and I sat in the back of the room at a table in the corner, hoping we could just eat breakfast and move on from there. Tracy Fitzsimmons, the President of Shenandoah University, had other ideas. After we had all gotten breakfast, she had each of us stand up and introduce ourselves by name, major, and where we are from. Since I wasn’t a presidential scholar, I was thinking, “Oh yeah, I don’t have to do this! Woo!” Again, I was wrong. Tracy had overheard Sarah and I talking to other people in the room, so she knew that I was also an admitted freshman. After Sarah introduced herself, Tracy said to me, “And how about you? Tell us about yourself!” I responded with something really smart like, “Um...are you sure? I’m not a presidential scholar…” She insisted, and I sucked it up and let everyone know that I am an incoming nursing student from Winchester, VA who happens to also be a cheerleader, etc.

The amazing thing about that experience, was that it helped me establish a relationship with not only other freshman, but also the President of the University. It influenced my decision to come here even more. I was really happy that she was so loving and had an urge to get to know me, even though I wasn’t necessarily supposed to be at that breakfast. Tracy treated me as if that’s where I was supposed to be, which made me realize that Shenandoah is where I’m meant to be.

1. What has been your favorite class?

Movement class my freshman year. It introduced me to the idea that as actors our whole body is our instrument and it inspired me to pursue work in movement directing. It was also my first class with my favorite professor, Carolyn Coulson.

3. Why did you choose Shenandoah?

I initially wanted a smaller school and I thought that I could get the equivalent of a city-style studio education while being close to home. I also enjoyed the people I met when I first auditioned.

4. Where is your favorite place on campus?

Glaize Studio Theatre. It's an interesting mix of a secluded space and a collaborative venue and I have many wonderful memories of working with many people in that space.
