Ally Hicks
Business Administration ’26
Why Stephens?

Savina Do
Integrative Human Biology ’27 | Student Athlete – Volleyball
Why Stephens?
“The small class sizes and the community-focused student life were what drew me to Stephens. I also loved the balance between small college but still being in a big city and the opportunity to network and connect. Stephens also gave me the opportunity to continue my athletic career.”
Why Integrative Human Biology?
“Integrative Human Biology was very hands on and exactly what I needed to become an athletic trainer. Most schools I looked at were Biology or Health Science, which would be me settling for a degree, rather than get the specific degree I want.”
How is Stephens College helping you to achieve your goals?
“Stephens allows me to be both an athlete and a student. As an athlete, it becomes hard to balance, but having a good relationship with my instructors make it easy for me to not have to choose good grades and being an athlete.”
What does being a Student Ambassador mean to you?
“It’s creating a welcoming environment. Choosing a school gets nerve wracking and I remember being super nervous about that as a freshman and a transfer. I just want to be someone I didn’t have.”

Eliza Stevens
Business Administration ’29
Why Stephens?
“Two of my sisters graduated from Stephens so it made the choice a no brainer (joking). What made Stephens a fit for me is the community that my sisters had. Everyone here wants to see the students succeed and they did that for my sisters, so I know they want that for me.”
Why Business Administration?
“The reason I want to be in the business program is because of the professors. They care so much and want me to be a great leader and confident in my major and field.”
How is Stephens College helping you to achieve your goals?
“My professors are helping me reach my goals. On day one they asked what field I see myself in, and they asked if I wanted an internship. I have the real world experiences to help me understand what I want my future to look like.”
What does being a Student Ambassador mean to you?
“Being a Student Ambassador is the opportunity to show people the place that has shaped me into a strong women. I love showing people around this historic campus.”
