Robert Marti
Major: Chemistry and Mathematical Sciences
Hometown: Oklahoma City, OK

What is your favorite class and why?
Linear Algebra!!!! I love mathematics much more than I thought when I started at Westminster. It wasn't until I started taking higher level math courses that I was able to see the true beauty of mathematics. Linear algebra branched off from math and challenged me to think differently. Plus it sounds really cool to say, "Oh, that is a 9th dimensional hyper plane."

Who is your favorite professor and why?
Dr. Erin Martin! Every class I had with her has been a rigorous one. Dr. Martin has challenged me like no other professors have. She doesn't only care about me doing well academically, but she cares about my growth as a person and is ALWAYS willing to help when she can. Dr. Martin is an exceptional professor and person!!!

Favorite foods?
I really love Asian food! My two dishes I am currently in love with are Pad Thai and Vermicelli.

Favorite place on campus and why?
Some might think my favorite place on campus is CSC 114 because I spend more time there than in my room probably ha ha ha. I would have to say my favorite place on campus is the Johnson College Inn, more commonly known as, JCI. I have a passion for billiards and since JCI has two pool tables my passion is satiable. I love that I can play on a quality table (for a college campus) and get some legitimate practice in.

An interesting fact about you:
During the summer of 2006, I competed in a 9-ball junior national competition in the 19 and under division and placed 10th in the nation! However, my pool skills are not as sharp as they use to be, because I can't play every day anymore.

Advice to an incoming student:
Get involved as much as you can!!! Your college experience is what you make of it. Also, listen to your RAs and mentors, they've been through what you are about to go through already and can give you some valuable advice.

Clubs and Organizations:
Skulls of Seven, WestMO for H2OPE, Peer Health Educators, Student Government Association/SGA, Finance Committee, and Pi Mu Epsilon.
