 My name is Dan Williams. I'm a senior here at Steveson University. I'm a business communication major and I play football here. Coming through the process of trying to pick a college, something that was really important to me was the after school things that could happen to me. Steveson when I was a senior high school had a 95% job rate coming in the first six months out of college. So that was something that was important to me in this economy, in this day and age trying to get a job after college was really important and I feel like Steveson prepares me the best for that. I think one of the biggest things for me here at Steveson is the atmosphere of being a student athlete. Probably the best D3 atmosphere that I've been around. It rivals at least some of the Division I double A's and even some Division I's. The crowd is always amped up for every home game and you get a sense of pride from those fans and the kids here at school that they really want to see you do well and they want to see you succeed. I know personally for me and my team, we like to support other teams whether it's soccer, basketball, volleyball. We like to support everybody and make them feel welcome here and I think it's a big community just among the student athletes of support and just a well-rounded group to be around. D3 for me is a very impactful part of my life. I had the chance to go to the NCAA Convention last January in Nashville, Tennessee and I was able to learn a lot of things just about D3 and why we are successful and what we do. It's all about the community and the people you are around here at D3. We don't have as much funding or as many people as the D1 schools but it's about the people you meet and the connections you make and I think that's what makes D3 special. I know my teachers and my business communication major, they're very helpful in trying to push me to do better whether it's in the classroom, on the field, they want to see me be great in all aspects of my life and it's something that has helped me and driven me to be the best I can be here at Stevenson. Being in the quarterback everybody is looking at you for leadership and for those words of wisdom when things are going tough so I think it helps you a lot out in the business world when you have to make these crucial decisions on hiring and firing somebody on what the next task is for you and your team. I think being a quarterback and being an athlete helps me out with that a ton.
