SAMI SNYDER
“I am a junior from Marshalltown, Iowa who is involved with dance and the student ambassadors program. I grew up with my parents and an older brother who I adore. My mom’s family lived in Lawton when I was growing up, so Morningside was a place I always heard about but hadn’t really considered for college. When I started looking at college options I visited other places, but I knew during my visit that Morningside was where I belonged. It sounds cliché, but it just felt right to me.

It doesn’t matter if you are someone who is more reserved or someone like me who absolutely isn’t shy. People take care of one another at Morningside and create a network where you are able to really develop who you are and grow your future. I love that."
