Patricia was selected for her remarkable academic achievements, campus leadership, and community service. In turn, Patricia selected Dr. Lynda Sexson, a Professor of Humanities in the Department of History and Philosophy, as her mentor. |

In addition to her coursework at MSU, Patricia has assisted three professors in the Department of History and Philosophy along with other students in their learning experiences.

In fall semester 2005 she studied at the University of Hawaii Hilo as part of the National Student Exchange program.

“The knowledge I have gained from this program has satisfied all aspects of my personality including my imagination, making it possible for me to connect and integrate my various interests in religious studies, design, and science into one curriculum. I believe it is important to be educated rather than trained; at MSU my mind has been exposed to different ways of knowing, opening it up to the links between multiple disciplines, which is crucial to our understandings of the world.”
