When senior wildlife biology major Marissa Ruiz arrived at Hastings College, she knew she wanted to get involved. She quickly filled her schedule as an RA, a tutor and a member of both the bowling team and the Student Association.
“I find a lot of value and purpose in being part of my community,” said Ruiz, who is from Las Vegas. “I really enjoy having the ability to grow the community and help others here at Hastings.”
Marissa said she believes the college has set her up to succeed as she prepares for her next chapter: veterinarian school.
