 My name is Tamia Teague and I am from Enterprise, Alabama. I am studying advertising that is my major and my minor is consumer sciences. Before I came to Alabama I went to a community college enterprise state. I went there for a year and I got my two-year degree so I went through pretty fast. It was a nice transition from high school to college and there is when I decided that I want to go to Alabama. Coming as a transfer student I got involved in with the orientation team because it doesn't matter what year you are they accept you. Either way, this is as long as you're ready to put on a smile and help people that are coming to the university. I also got involved with the organization DREAM which is a minority advocacy group here in the BGSU Volunteering Ground, Tuscaloosa and then I also got involved with work study and that's how I got my job at international student services. Alabama will be a great place because I have so many resources and I always tell you coming as a transfer student that it's not the end of the road like when people come in as their junior year they feel like they have to have everything done everything figured out they feel like they can't even study abroad anymore but like they tell you that you can still do whatever you want to do and accomplish anything at Alabama. You just have to go out and find them so I always recommend the Career Center. There is the Capstone Center for Student Success. There's plenty of places for students to thrive.
