Patrick Cardenas
Hometown: Houston, Texas Major: Master’s in industrial/organization psychology
I am the first in my family to pursue a higher education and had my eyes set on attending University of Houston-Clear Lake since high school.
Through class instruction and my campus participation, I have developed leadership skills that I have put to use through my involvement with the Student Government Association, National Society of Leadership and Success, Omicron Delta Kappa and Behavioral Science League.
I am now a graduate student in the Industrial/Organization Psychology sub-plan in the General Behavioral Science program. The classes I take completely apply to what I do now in life. The leadership and teamwork classes I am required to take allow me to apply them to my involvements on campus. I can now share my success by leading other students in completing their goals and dreams.
The skills I have gained at UHCL will stay with me long after graduation and most certainly will continue to impact me both personally and professionally.
