Why did you choose UAlbany?

I chose UAlbany not just for the great Computer Science program, but because it immediately felt like such a nice, welcoming place. When I met the volleyball team, everyone was so friendly and supportive, I felt like I fit right in from the start. Being around such great people made me sure this is the place where I can grow in school, keep playing the sport I love, and be part of a team that truly has each other’s backs.
 

Pickard on Yasar

Elif brings us tremendous experience at the setting position. She is similar in play style to [Maria Olga Siapani], which gives us great options with the team this year.
