Gary Ezard

When did you enter DUS?: Freshman year
How many semesters did you spend in DUS?: Four.
Why did you choose DUS?: I was undecided about a major. DUS offered an opportunity to get accepted and enrolled without having to commit and then change majors.
What resources did you use in your exploratory and decision-making process?: I took many required courses and some electives while in DUS. It afforded me the chance to search while fulfilling requirements.
Did DUS benefit you? If so, how?: Yes, it did.

What major(s) (and minor(s), if applicable) did you end up choosing?: Telecommunications
What year did you graduate?: 1984
What extracurricular activities made a difference in your college experience?: Being a part of the South Halls Residence Association, the Dance Marathon (THON), IM sports and being a South Halls radio DJ all made a difference for me.
Looking back, would you have done anything differently during your time at Penn State?: I wish I had been aware of more job opportunities while I was still in school. Being in Liberal Arts, there were no recruiters as there were for my fellow students in Business and Engineering. Without the quality internship I had at a television station, I would have been without any knowledge of how to find a "real" job.
