Let’s see if you can keep up with Alonzo’s interests! 👀
🎬 All American or The Night Agent? Both.
🎤 Drake? Absolutely.
🏌️ Tiger Woods? Alonzo had the moves when he was younger.
🏗️ Construction Management? That’s the major.
📐 RPLS + Project Land Surveyor in Dallas? That’s the goal.
And somewhere in the middle of it all, you’ll find Alonzo—the First-Generation Student, Housing Ambassador, and SGA Senator.
His Bearkat journey started when his best friend and one of our RAs brought him to Sam, and now he’s building a future of his own.
Say hey to Alonzo! 👋🧡
