I am very excited to be back in Fort Collins, after spending the summer life guarding and traveling to the Virgin Islands.  As a marketing major, I look forward to getting into more marketing courses and hopefully land an internship.  In my free time I love cooking and dancing.  Staying active is very important to me and I take advantage of all the great things Colorado has to offer.  I can't wait to hit the slopes this winter with my friends.  I hope to study abroad in Siena next summer!

My name is Nicole Stutz, I am a junior at Colorado State University. Marketing is my concentration, yet I am also majoring in apparel design. I hope to combine my two fields of study and perhaps start my new line of clothes one day!
