REASON I CHOSE MY MAJOR
“I actually chose my major through a process of trial and error. I came to college undecided, bounced around various music and science degrees, and finally landed on music performance and pre-health. It is the perfect combination of doing what I love: playing and performing with the trombone, and working towards a scientific job in the medical field.”
