Welcome to another student takeover!
Meet Hailey Toornstra, a sophomore at WOU, double majoring in Criminal Justice and Psychology, with a minor in ROTC Military Science. She chose WOU for its renowned Criminal Justice program but quickly fell in love with the Monmouth community and the small university atmosphere.
She enjoys walking through campus, studying in quiet areas, and working out in the gym. Hailey is also deeply involved in Army ROTC, where she manages their Instagram account, participates in color guard at sports games, and helps plan various events. She loves the program and values the strong friendships she has built with her fellow cadets.
Hailey is especially grateful for her professors. Professor Moreno, from the Criminal Justice program, has inspired her to think critically and expand her writing skills, while CPT Hawthorne, her ROTC professor, has motivated her to excel in both physical fitness and academics. Hailey admires him as a role model for all cadets.
