#StudentSunday: Thomas Brodsky

#StudentSunday, Thomas Brodsky, General Education

We’re so excited for spring, but until it gets here, Student Sunday is our favorite day! This month, get to know Thomas Brodsky, second-year general education student from Conway, Arkansas. 

Why did you choose UACCM?

The great teachers and quality education.

What are your favorite things to do or hobbies you enjoy when you're not at school?

Outside of school, I enjoy being a licensed amateur radio operator and connecting with others over the radio waves. I also enjoy tinkering on vehicles and playing baseball.

What is unique about your UACCM story?

My first semester in college at UACCM was my first experience in a traditional classroom setting. Everyone at UACCM has contributed to my success as a college student and facilitated my transition.

Do you have any special tips or tricks UACCM students should know?

Put in the work and be proactive rather than reactive in your classes.

What are your plans after you finish your degree?

To transfer to a four-year Arkansas college to study some field of science.
