Commuter Spotlight By Ashlea Perkins Commuter students play an active role in the life of Bowie State University, and alumni are no exception. Commuter columnist Ashlea Perkins interviewed former commuter Chauna Geter, who graduated with a degree in computer science in 2004, about her time at BSU. The Spectrum: How would you rate your experience here at Bowie State University? Chauna Geter: It was a great one. I feel that I had the full college experience here at Bowie. I commuted in the beginning then decided to stay my last year on campus and because of that and I formed wonderful lasting friendships and bonds. The Spectrum: Since graduating, have you worked in you field of study? Chauna Geter: Indeed, I worked in the private sector as a commuter help desk analyst. The Spectrum: Does the campus look different to you? Chauna Geter: Yes, when I was here Bowie Place was being built, and there were no pubs or cafés; it looks totally different. The Spectrum: Would you advise any high school graduates to BSU? Chauna Geter: Most definitely, I'm proud to have graduated from such a well known and highly regarded university. Your experience here at Bowie is what you make it, and I'm happy to say I'm an alumna of BSU. The Spectrum: What advice do you have for graduating seniors? Chauna Geter: It's OK to try different things once you graduate just to find your niche. I always say while in college you begin to learn yourself, and when you graduate you begin to deal with the person you've become. |
