“I chose to join the clubs at Gateway so that I could have the most fulfilling college experience possible. Gateway offers so many activities and opportunities for their students and I wanted to benefit from this as much as possible.

Clubs: Student Ambassador Program
“I enjoy being a representative for our school to help potential students find their own career path that they may not have thought of before. I remember meeting a Gateway Ambassador, when I was younger, and how it was nice to hear their own unique experiences at Gateway. I knew then that Gateway was where I belonged. Hopefully, I can make that same difference for a future student of Gateway”.

"I love socializing, being with my dogs, and I love working with my hands. I am a welder, fabricator and a machinist. One thing that I love about being in all of these clubs is that I get to socialize and meet new people. There is plenty of stuff to do at Gateway so if you see something that you like give it a shot and try to enjoy your time here!"
Major: Nursing
Clubs: Student Ambassador Program
"I wanted to become a student ambassador because the opportunity to give back to my fellow classmates and potential classmates is important to me. I believe that we have to cooperate to graduate so if I can work to help all of my classmates then we all succeed. Being a non-traditional student gives me a perspective that others may not have and this platform allows me to share my previous experience with others."
