How did Grove City College prepare you for life after college?

Something special about GCC is that the classes really set you into a habit of constantly wanting to pursue knowledge. Papers and reading assignments sound like a drag when you're forced to do them, but once those stop looming overhead you realize how valuable regularly learning new things is. I am so excited to have graduated and have time to pursue topics that interest me outside of classes - this mindset is going to help me be successful at my job as well as continue to expand my knowledge of the world around me.

When I was looking for a college, I wish I had been told...

It's okay to be unsure of what to major in! I ended up switching my major twice before I figured out what I wanted to do - and it's easy to change your major if you schedule your classes carefully.

My friends and I like to...

Have movie nights on the weekends, hang out at Beans on Broad or Sweet Jeanie's, and go to concerts in the nearby cities.

Who was your greatest influence or mentor as a student and why?

Professor Sweet in the Entrepreneurship department! He helped me discover my passion for digital marketing after I changed my major before my sophomore year. He has been an immense help to me during my job search process - I certainly would not have pushed myself to pursue a career in digital marketing if I hadn't taken some of Professor Sweet's classes and discovered how much I love it.

I'm passionate about...
