UNIQUELY EUREKA EXPERIENCE:

My Uniquely Eureka Experience started when I took part in the Summer Choral Camp before my Freshmen year in High School. Four years later when I came to my campus visit Dr. Henry remembered me and I knew that Eureka College was going to be my home away from home. During my time at Eureka College I started down the path to becoming the person I am today.
