Christobel Nweke

#EIUFamily, this week’s #ResidentofEIU is Christobel Nweke.

 

Christobel is from Huntsville, Alabama. He is studying pre-engineering for two years then he will transfer to another institution in order to obtain a degree in computer engineering. He hopes to become a programmer or a computer hardware engineer for a big company such as Microsoft or Google.

 

He is the beatboxer of Eastern Euphonics, an acapella group. He also participates in his hall council and is the vice president of community engagement for RHA E-board. “Being involved means you get to speak and interact with others which is a great experience. You get to build relationships along the way and it has helped me with my communication skills as well for sure.”

 

Christobel advise #FuturePanther to live on campus, for it helps with the transition to university life. Christobel also said that incoming freshmen should be not afraid to talk to their RA or the faculty on campus since he has only had good experience with them. He found his RA was always there for him while transitioning to EIU and was always available to answer his questions. He also found faculty to care about his well-being on top of his success in their classes. They have always been happy to help him out with any issue.

 

When we asked Christobel what is his favorite memory so far at EIU, he said it was when he played the dodgeball intramurals at the beginning of the semester. Even though he has not played in a while, he gave it a try and had an absolute blast. He played on his RA’s team with his floormates, so he was able to share fun memories with his floormates and dominate the game!

 

Congratulations, Christobel, on being this week’s #ResidentofEIU. We hope you experience more fun filled memories here while achieving your degree to accomplish your dream career!
