      "I am most familiar with the fine arts department because my daughter has taken summer classes here. I have always been impressed by your wide variety of offerings and your school's commitment to character and integrity beyond academics. I have also spent a decent amount of time on campus, as my family attends several basketball games each year, and I love the energetic and family-oriented atmosphere here. I would be very proud to represent such a well-respected school."
