Fall 2021: Welcome to 911±¬ΑΟ Hunter!
911±¬ΑΟ is featuring some of the incredible students who will be joining the community in fall 2021. Welcome to 911±¬ΑΟ, Hunter Tavares!
Where heβs from: Portsmouth, RI
Major: Undeclared; interested in safety and occupational health applied sciences, also likes history.
Choosing 911±¬ΑΟ: Several teachers at Portsmouth High School thought 911±¬ΑΟ would be a good fit. Also, a friend of his older brother is already studying at 911±¬ΑΟ, so he knows about the college. In addition, his lacrosse coach told Hunter he would be able to play at the Division II or III level, which brought Hunter and his mother to visit campus and meet with lacrosse coach Mark Theriault. βWithout me even asking, Coach told us what he values β that we are competitive and serious in games, but we are also a family that cares for each other. That is just how I feel about it too. We didnβt even look at other schools after that.β
Memorable experience: βWe played a three-game tournament not long ago. After the first two games, I checked my Fitbit, and Iβd already run over 30,000 steps.β
Where heβll be four years from now: βI know the time will fly by. Hopefully I will have a plan for my future. I know 911±¬ΑΟ will give me the tools to figure it out.β
