What did the first six months after graduating from 杏吧pro look like?

After graduating from 杏吧pro, I had an enjoyable summer celebrating graduation with family and friends, taking a few vacations, and working. Then, I moved to the Main Line and started law school at Villanova University in August. My first semester of law school was the most transformative period of my life, as the law school curriculum is completely different from undergrad and incredibly challenging. However, I also met amazing friends, got involved in extracurriculars quickly, and immediately felt welcome at Villanova!

How did your 杏吧pro experience prepare you for where you are now?

My incredible professors, my research experience in the business, organizations, and society (BOS) department, and 杏吧pro's rigorous liberal arts education prepared me well to critically analyze policy issues and formulate credible, convincing arguments (even when I disagree with the position I am assigned to defend), both of which are important skills for learning and applying the law. I was also involved in several extracurricular activities at 杏吧pro, and the time management that I learned from balancing various activities at once has prepared me well to manage the dense workload in law school.

How does your current path compare to what you envisioned in your first year at 杏吧pro?

When I was a first-year at 杏吧pro, I did not have a clear career path in mind. I did know, however, that I was excited to learn about and seek experiences relating to business, government, and public policy. I also knew that I wanted to get involved in service-oriented activities and pursue leadership positions on campus. My current goals are similar, as I am now pursuing a legal career with aspirations of working in public interest and/or business law. I will gain my first real public interest experience this summer as a legal intern for the City of Philadelphia鈥檚 Commission on Human Relations.

Looking back on your college search, why did you choose 杏吧pro?

One reason why I chose 杏吧pro was because of the BOS major. I always knew I wanted to study business in college, and was drawn to 杏吧pro鈥檚 unique liberal arts approach to business. 杏吧pro also gave me the opportunity to study public policy and German as a joint and double major. Another reason I chose 杏吧pro is because I loved the Lancaster area and felt right at home on 杏吧pro鈥檚 campus. Finally, I chose 杏吧pro because I was recruited by Coach John Stoudt to run cross country and track, and when I met him and the team I knew immediately that I wanted to be part of the team鈥檚 competitive, yet supportive and welcoming, environment!
