Get to know Clay:

Why did you choose Health Science at Mizzou?

I chose to major in Health Science with an emphasis in Rehabilitation Sciences because it felt like the perfect path into the physical therapy world. I’ve always been really active in sports, so I’ve seen firsthand how important physical therapy can be. My mom has also worked in healthcare for a long time, which made me even more interested in the field. The combination of those experiences — along with the great people I met in the College of Health Sciences — really confirmed that physical therapy was the right direction for me.

What makes Mizzou feel like home?

Getting involved early really helped me feel at home at Mizzou. When I got to campus over the summer, everyone was so open and welcoming, which made the transition so much easier. Joining a fraternity also played a big part in helping me find my people and build a strong community right away.

Why should future students choose Mizzou?

Future students should choose Mizzou because it truly gives you endless opportunities — whether you’re looking to make connections, excel in the classroom, or figure out who you want to be. There’s something for everyone here, and it’s easy to find your place. Mizzou really does offer a little bit of everything for every kind of student.
