Pratham Mundra Business Administration - Management Major “It is so great to have the most powerful person in the world here on our campus. It was just unbelievable to me when I got an invitation to attend. To be honest, I didn’t even believe it at first, I was skeptical that it was real. I feel like this experience adds to my education and will benefit me in the future if I ever get to meet someone important like this again or be in this type of situation.”
Claire Stangle Psychology Major “I was happy UW-Superior was given the exposure of a national event. I am proud that our small community works together to produce big change. The university is an awesome resource for its students and the community and that should be highlighted and celebrated. It was interesting to see how coordinated everything has to be for a presidential visit. We interacted with some of the White House staffers and could watch how the Secret Service coordinated details. There were a lot of people involved and details that had to come together really quickly to make it all happen.”
Rina Yamamoto Elementary Education Major
“When I learned the president was coming, it didn’t feel real. It was such an honor to be selected to attend. When I found out it was because someone recommended me as a good representative of the university, it added to the honor. No one knew what to expect when we walked into the Yellowjacket Union, and when I got there and was sitting on stage, it finally hit me how big this opportunity was. My heart was pounding, and my legs were shaking the whole time he was in front of us. I kept saying in my head, ‘That is the president of the United States, and he’s standing in our student union, like 20 feet in front of me!’”
