Thank You Letters



Alyssa Peachey

Program of Emphasis: Biology

Hometown: Hummelstown, PA

High School: Lower Dauphin Senior HS

Why I chose to attend Juniata: When I think of Juniata, I think of a small, rural, tight-knit community that welcomes all. I think of an excellent science program and wonderful faculty to go with it. I chose Juniata College because I wanted a school where the professors wanted to see students learn, grow and succeed together. Classrooms are all the same no matter what school you are at, but Juniata's welcoming faculty and staff is what I admired the most.

Clubs and Organizations: Colleges Against Cancer- Decorations Committee - Fundraising

Varsity Sports: Swim Team - 100 meter butterfly, 200 meter butterfly, 200 Individual medley

Most Interesting Class: Survey of Western Art - It amazes me how so many different paintings can be interpreted differently. I have learned so much about European art in just one semester. The text is also as intriguing as the artwork we look at in class. I really like learning the history of famous artists, such as Raphael, Leonardo and Michelangelo during the High Renaissance period.

Favorite Faculty Member: Dr. Jay Hosler - Dr. Hosler is my Biology professor and advisor. Not only has he helped me schedule classes, but his style of teaching has made me a better student. Dr. Hosler's artistic abilities are incredible and he is able to teach through pictures and diagrams which is very helpful. It makes understanding concepts much easier and more realistic.
