“是否与体育有关, 市场营销, 公共关系, advertising or even pursuing a doctorate degree 和 teaching communication, I was highly intrigued by all of the routes ahead of me.
“My experiences both in 和 out of the classroom are challenging. Recently I had the opportunity to assist the Sports 沟通 Department with their podcast ‘CU in Van Male.’ At first it seemed out of my realm, but it pushed me to do something out of the box 和 developed my perception of a career in communications. I then became motivated to take a podcasting course, 和 am more comfortable with content management, digital media 和 more importantly – getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.
“My liberal arts education allows me to know that learning doesn’t always need to be personally driven 和 require personal benefits. After I graduate college with my major 和 minor, I hope to never stop learning. The Carroll 先锋核心 allows a wise student to remember the true essence of learning is ever long!”
