Shelby Corbitt

Hey guys! I'm Shelby and I'm a sophomore Computer Info Systems major w/ a business minor. I'm from a small town in FL that you have probably never heard of between Destin & PCB called Freeport. I'm the Community Service chair this year (along with my girl Vivian) and would love to be your mentor!

Softball was my sport of choice growing up. I have played since I was in fourth grade. I picked up soccer my Sophomore year of high school and loved it. I also played for the honor's IM soccer team "The Nerd Herd" last spring (shameless plug: everyone is encouraged to join!!).

I've always enjoyed being by the water, it is one of my favorite hobbies. The water is calming and allows me to gain perspective. I especially love going to Pensacola Beach when the semester gets stressful, like during the nightmare that is finals week.

I am Service Chair now, but I did not have a leadership position my first year in honors. I stayed involved by going to council and to multiple community service and social events. Like all honors students I have taken Core 1 and 2, and I will be taking the Politics of Food seminar in the fall.

When I am not doing homework I am doing even less interesting things like binge watching shows on Netflix. Parks and Rec, and Arrested Development are some favs and I am open to any suggestions! I also enjoy hanging out with my friends. They keep me sane in the craziness that is college.

Research is an important part of school and of the honors program. I started a research project this year and presented at the National Conference on Undergrad Research (NCUR) and UWF's Student Scholar Symposium. Both were a great learning experience that I was fortunate enough to have.

I love meeting new people, but I am introverted initially. However, once I get to know you I start to get out of my shell. You'll find out that I'm a go with the flow person. My favorite thing to do is to help others. I know what it's like to need help, so I enjoy paying it forward.
