Fairfield Spotlight - Renise Williams '12

---

February 2011

Name: Renise Williams
Hometown: Bronx, NY
Class: 2012
Major: Psychology and English

I chose Fairfield because... when I stepped onto the campus I felt immediately welcome.

I chose my major because... I wanted to gain insight into the behaviors and motivations of individuals and I love to read and write.

My favorite thing to do on campus is... hang out in the campus center. I can do work there, plus I can see all my friends.

What's your most memorable academic experience? My most memorable academic experience was my Cognitive Psychology class because I was able to apply what I learned to my everyday life.

Outside of the classroom, my favorite thing at Fairfield that really enhances my experience here is... being an RA. It has been a rewarding experience. I learned about myself and the residents.

When I have free time, I like to... hangout in the campus center and catch up with people.

One thing I wish I knew about actual college life before I got here is... how critical it is to manage your time.

One positive thing I have learned about myself since coming to Fairfield is... I am a strong leader and I enjoy mentoring my fellow peers.

After graduation, I plan to... go to graduate school for higher education, educational psychology, or human resources and management.

The one Fairfield experience I will always remember will be... going on the Kairos Retreat because it changed my perspective on my life and what I want out of my life.
