Why I Chose CMU: “I chose CMU for multiple reasons, one of the first being the amazing energy management program/club that is provided here at CMU. I also enjoy outdoor activities like hunting, camping, fishing, dirt and mountain biking, as well as skiing. The places around Grand Junction offer some of the best places in the country to do these activities. My last big reason is, of course, Lacrosse! After taking a visit and playing with the team I knew I really wanted to be a part of the special culture Coach Smith has built here.”
