Rigoberto Alcaraz Jr.
Hi, my name is Rigoberto Alcaraz Jr, however I prefer to be called Rigo as it is shorter and easier to remember. I am a freshman, and I graduated from Pierce County High School. I am from Blackshear, Georgia, which is about an hour and forty-five minutes away from Statesboro. I am majoring in Information Technology, or IT for short. I chose to major in IT because I always enjoyed working with technology and fixing them when they were broken. I like to do many things during my free time, such as program, 3D model, or play games. Finally, I chose to be in the Honors College, as Statesboro was close to my hometown, and being in the honors program would give me more opportunities.

Gabrielle Broughton
Hello everyone! My name is Gabrielle Broughton, but I go by Gabby. I am from Buford, Georgia. I am double majoring in Fashion and Graphic Design. I choose Fashion Design as my major because I have always had a passion for clothes. As a kid, I would watch Project Runway and dream about making clothes. Recently, I took a Graphic Design class in High School and fell in love with designing, so I jumped at the opportunity to major in both designs. In my free time, I like to exercise, more specifically running. I usually do about five to six miles a day. I also like to sketch portraits, mostly in black and white. Lastly, I joined GSU’s Honors College because I enjoy having other innovative individuals around me to have intellectual conversations and feel like I’m part of a bigger community. I can’t wait for a fantastic school year!

Ansleigh Campbell
Hello! I'm Ansleigh. I am an 18 year old from Gainesville, Georgia which is a small town about an hour north of Atlanta. After attending East Hall High School, I decided on Georgia Southern to be my home for the next 4 years of my life. I also joined the Honors College at GSU due to the fact that I have always been in honors and AP classes so I wanted to stay on that route. At first, I was an International Trade major because I'm really interested in studying abroad. After the first couple days of class, I realized that pathway wasn't for me. Therefore, I switched to Finance which I believe I will enjoy much more on the basis that it will get me into the field that I want to be in much faster. After classes, in my free time, you can mainly find me listening to music, taking a walk around the campus to stay active or watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix. This is just a brief introduction to who I am!

Anna Claire Edenfield
Hi! My name is Anna Claire Edenfield and I’m from Savannah, GA. I have two dogs back home named Dooley and Koda. One of my favorite parts about Savannah is being so close to Tybee Island. I love spending time at the beach, whether I’m tanning and swimming in the ocean during summer or watching the sunset with my friends on a chilly winter night. During middle and high school I took classes and performed aerial silks at my local theatre. I also always enjoy catching up on a new television series. Some of my all time favorites are Jane the Virgin, New Girl, and Gossip Girl.
