Personal
Sydney is an elementary education and special education major that also happens to be a really picky eater. She chose to attend Morningside because of the atmosphere on campus and on the volleyball team.
"Morningside felt like home," said Sydney. "Coming here, I knew that I would have so much support from my coaches and my teammates."
