College plan: “Black holes, white holes, dark matter…so much is unexplained. I could be one of the people who help explain it.”

For fun: Swimming, volleyball.

The Centennial: “I believe that my peers and I are in this class for a reason. Being the Centennial class has a different meaning to every person, and I believe it is a reminder that we are the next generation of greatness.”

Memorable experience: As senior class president, Michelle was called upon at last June’s commencement ceremony to introduce and welcome the day’s surprise keynote speaker: President Bill Clinton. Neither she nor any of the several thousand graduates, guests and faculty knew until that morning that the former president would be present.
