About
I’m Alexa, a member of the class of 2024! I’ve lived in the area for the majority of my life and grew up dancing at The Dance Depot, the nearby dance studio. I’m a Biology major with minors in Dance and Psychology. On campus, I’m a Corresponding Secretary and Community Service Chair for Tau Sigma Gamma, Secretary and Director of Communications for STAT, and a team member on the Dance Team. I’ve also been a part of UCDC and Escape Velocity as both a dancer and tech crew member.
Why did you decide to minor in Dance at Ursinus College?
I chose a minor in Dance so that I could keep doing what I love while also focusing on my studies as a Biology major. I also chose Dance as a minor so that I could pursue my interest in Psychology, too. I’ve been a dancer for over 15 years and didn’t want to give it up!

Life After Ursinus
I’m still deciding what I would like to do after I graduate, but I know I would like to go to graduate school. I have many interests, including microbiology, conservation ecology, and genetics, to name a few, and am meeting with professors and CPD to help me figure out what I’m interested in and what I want to do.
