Francis Power

Pronouns: He/Him

Major: Physcial Therapy

Community College: Copper Mountain College

Biography: 

I am an aspiring physical therapy student from Joshua Tree, California. When I graduate I hope to work as a traveling Physical Therapist helping geriatric patients to move better. My dream is to be a UFC referee and provide bodywork at Music & Arts festivals around the world.

Currently, I work as an Aztec Adventures Assistant at the rock climbing wall, serve as a Peer Leadership Consultant presenting workshops for the Glazer Center, and sit on the Student Advisory Boardfor the upcoming Leadership Summit on February 18th, 2023 (Hope to see you there!). I transferred to SDSU from Copper Mountain College in Joshua Tree, California (the smallest community college in California). I know what it feels like to flounder in an environment despite it being full of countless opportunities, in which it seems like everyone has already found their niche. Moving to a University with a population larger than my hometown was a workload in and of itself! My goal with the Transfer Student Outreach Alliance is to provide a lens that focuses prospective and incoming transfer students on the relevant opportunities that resonate with them. We have representatives in each college to help with this! I want to provide a space for Transfer Students to create community, build their professional networks, and thrive academically. With that being said, don’t hesitate to reach out for more information about the TSOA, follow us on Instagram, join the discord, and get active in opportunities that are calling your spirit on campus!
