My name is Kelsy Patrick and I am majoring in anthropology with a health emphasis. College has been so much more than I thought it would be. It is more than large classes and football games, it has truly molded me into the confident young woman I am today. I entered college with my heart set on medical school which I soon came to realize wasn't for me. Choosing a major in the College Social and Behavioral Science has helped me discover my true potential and is currently helping me reach my goal of attending physician's assistant school after graduation.
