Q&A with Steph:
What do you like most about the career path you have chosen?
I like that it is such a broad major with a variety of career choices from which to choose after graduation.
Why did you choose Clarion University?
I chose Clarion University because of the campus atmosphere. It was just the right size for me with a friendly environment.
What is your favorite Clarion memory?
All of them. But if I had to choose just a few they would be the Campus Fest Concerts, the Greek Community, and the Eagle Ambassador functions
What is your greatest accomplishment?
Right now at this point in my life it would be receiving my first job promotion.
What is something people don’t know about you?
I’ve played the violin since I was in 2nd grade, and I’m listed in the Guinness Book of World records for participating in the Worlds Largest Orchestra.
Congratulations Steph! Everyone at Clarion wishes you continued happiness and success.
Here's More Spotlighted Alumni:
"I went to x-ray school six years after graduating from Clarion. I studied physics at Clarion, so learning x-rays and MRI was easier with that background. I am in the Naval Reserves, working at a military hospital in Europe and am doing MRI scans on some of the troops. I really enjoy my work and the opportunity here."

As I grow older all my memories of Clarion are becoming favorite memories.

Wow, now that's a good question. I have done a lot of things since graduating from Clarion, but I don't think I have done enough yet. Please stay tuned for the movie.
What is something people don't know about you?
For two years I was a flight attendant, x-ray technician, and an Army reservist -- all at the same time. I was never bored.
