 My name is Tiffany McKee. I'm a senior digital marketing major from Timonia, Maryland, and I'm an alumna of the women's soccer program, and I'm a member of the women's softball team. So when I began the college process, I knew I wanted to attend a school with challenging academics, a high career placement rate, and competitive athletics, and I found that in Stevenson. During the recruiting process, Graham separated himself from the rest of the coaches. From the first moment of recruiting, he made me feel like a part of the women's soccer family. And I knew that I wanted to attend Stevenson also because of the Brown School of Business Leadership. They have a high career placement rate with their business students and companies in Maryland. And it's also close to home, so my family is able to attend all my games. So I think that D3 provides a great balance between student-athlete experience, so rigorous academics as well as competitive athletics, and then we're able to pursue a lot of different opportunities off the field as well. So being an SGA, having those honor societies, service opportunities, study abroad, all those different things that Division I students often are not able to do because of that demanding schedule. I think also Stevenson professors, they understand our commitment to athletics, and then our coaches understand that academics are our priority of college. Being a two-sport athlete was one thing that drew me to Stevenson. I knew that I wasn't finished my softball career, and I wanted to have an opportunity to be a starter on the soccer field. Sometimes it's difficult being in two sports and never having an off-season, but Stevenson provides a great support system off the field, and I really feel like I have people to rely on and confide on some of my coaches and my teammates have been like a second family. So I think that being a student-athlete helps repair you for success in the classroom because you do have such a limited schedule, and you have to learn how to balance your extracurriculars, your academics, your athletics, and you're building those valuable time management skills there, and I think those make you more marketable to future employers, as well as being a leader on the field and having those effective communication skills which are valuable in group projects. I know that being a student-athlete has referred me for graduate classes, and I'm excited and ready to pursue the different opportunities that are available outside of Stevenson's walls.
