My name is William Zhanay, and I’m pursuing an accounting degree from the University of St. Thomas. I am pretty excited about graduation in May 2017! I enjoy playing soccer on the weekends, and my favorite soccer team is Real Madrid. I have studied abroad through the London Business Semester, and I also got a chance to visit Spain, Italy, and France. I will be visiting South Africa in January 2017. I got involved with the research group because I wanted to learn more about the first-generation experience in college. So far there have been many discoveries, and I have learned plenty about the research process.
