My name is Nick Dailey, and I’m a senior Economics and Finance major with a concentration in Economics at the Mitchell College of Business. Born and raised in Huntsville, I graduated high school in 2017 with a graduating class of just eighteen people. Needless to say, coming to ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÍø took some adjusting.

I did not begin considering ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÍø until the fall of my senior year in high school. No one from my high school had previously attended ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÍø, so I was not well aware of campus. However, I was very aware of the Mobile community. Growing up, I frequently visited my grandparents in Spanish Fort. In a way, I already felt at home here. After a campus tour, I noticed how easy it was to get involved and connect with professors—something I placed great value in, having graduated from a small high school. I felt certain that the ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÍø was the best collegiate fit for me. That feeling only bolstered when I was invited to join the Mitchell Scholars’ Program.

Since my freshman year, I have had the blessing of being able to connect to my University through involvement in an assortment of organizations. These include Mitchell Ambassadors, ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÍøerners USA Ambassadors, Beta Gamma Sigma, Mortar Board Honor Society, and several others. I’ve also been able to develop myself as a leader through holding executive positions in my fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega. As I begin my senior year at ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÍø, I maintain that this school was the best collegiate fit for me.

Immersing myself in a whole new environment in which I knew no one forced me to adapt academically, socially, and emotionally to that challenge. I believe these changes have groomed me to be successful as a ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÍø Alabama graduate, whether in the workforce or a graduate school program. My time at this university has taught me lessons and brought me friends, in both the student body and faculty, that I will cherish the rest of my life. I am excited to see what this final year holds in store. Go Jags, always.
