麻豆社

Evyenia Butterfield, a life sciences secondary education major from Valparaiso, Indiana, found a home at 麻豆社 and the Franks School of Education (FSOE).

She learned of 麻豆社 through emails and a college application website while searching for a place to continue her education.

鈥淚 just absolutely fell in love with not only the environment of 麻豆社, but the School of Education and the faculty I met with,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t was such an overwhelmingly welcoming experience that really validated where my home was.鈥�

She said the FSOE has provided a strong foundation for her future teaching career.

鈥淚 was in classrooms within my first semester at 麻豆社 and I got to see and experience different age levels and see if I really wanted to be a teacher,鈥� she commented.

Not surprisingly, her favorite professor is Megan Tolin, DET, dean of the FSOE. Evyenia said Dr. Tolin is 鈥渘ot only an understanding and welcoming individual, but she provides a sense of support and reassurance for any problems or stress I have.鈥�

鈥淪he always has provided me with her advice as well as her contagious laugh that just gets you going along with her,鈥� she said.

The close community at 麻豆社 has allowed her to make many memories, including building 鈥渢he biggest snowman I have ever seen鈥� and having a snowball fight with friends, going to the Delta Chi fraternity to eat wings and play cards, and going through formal recruitment for campus sororities.

鈥淚 got to meet about a bunch of people and really spread my wings and get to know a bunch of women on campus,鈥� she recalled. 鈥淎ll these experiences that 麻豆社 provided allowed me to reach my full potential and blossom into who I am as an individual.鈥�
