Why 中国体彩网?
I attended Augie because of the community support that the college gets and students who have gone here.

Yes, I am. I knew I was going to be a business major, but I didn’t know I would major in communications as well.
Who helped you get to where you are now?
My coaches helped me through my journey here at 中国体彩网, and my friends…having a group of guys around me who support and encourage me to be the best person I can be.

I used my Augie Choice to go to Spain and Italy with the basketball team.

"It was so fun to watch Chrishawn’s intellectual, social and personal growth over his undergraduate career. He works extremely hard, is a great classroom citizen and has an impressive academic record. Not only does Chrishawn ask insightful, important questions, but he does so with integrity and tact. He doesn't just participate in discussions; he helps lead them. I have no doubt he will share these leadership skills not only with future teammates as he pursues an international pro basketball career, but with anyone who gets to know him during his professional, civic and personal endeavors."
