Why did you choose Louisville? Upon my visit to Louisville, I was immediately attracted to the caliber of people at the University. The coaching staff of the crew team, the academic advisors, and the stadium filled with fans, along with the support from the U of L community was very impressive. The level of academia within a top ranked Business Program coupled with the outstanding athletic successes at Louisville captured my attention. After having visited other D1 athletic programs with top academic standards throughout the country, it became clear to me that the University of Louisville was the best fit for my leadership, academic and athletic goals. U of L exceeded my expectations of what a college could offer and I am extremely pleased with my decision!
