Amazing student Mathew Lustig

Biology major Matthew Lustig combines his interest in ROTC with a love for Johnny Cash to create his unique UGA experience:

I studied abroad in Australia, which allowed me to study biology, immerse myself in a new culture and make some of the best friends I have at UGA. Upon returning, I tried out and made the UGA co-ed cheerleading team and performed for UGA football, men’s/women’s basketball, gymnastics and volleyball. Meanwhile, I played violin in the UGA Philharmonia Orchestra, taught CPR/AED/first aid classes for the American Red Cross and volunteered at Morningside Assisted Living, where I played classical guitar for the elderly residents. In Army ROTC, I received the USAA Spirit award for “best exemplifying the concept of service to the unit, community, and nation.” I also was iinducted into the Blue Key Honors Society and received the Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities Award through the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.

Reminds us what a terrific place this is to be. It's all up to you to make it so.
