Reminders of the U

Summer has been treating me pretty well, and even from home I’ve found that I can stay connected to the University of Minnesota. I have been putting my communications skills to work as an intern for the NU Technology Park. As the communications intern I am in charge of the newsletter, and I have been gaining great experience through my work. I have been having a good time, but even here in Nebraska at my job I’ve run into Minnesota alumni.

It is pretty neat to meet alums, especially when I’m out of the state. It’s exciting for me to talk with alumni who are still using their degrees and are enthusiastic about their work. It just reminds me that I can stay connected wherever I go and that a whole other world waits for us after college. It’s comforting to meet Minnesota alumni in my internship as well as getting a taste of what it’s like in the “real world�. Even away from campus I can see myself continually benefiting from my College of Liberal Arts experience.

  • Hometown: Lincoln, NE
  • Groups or activities: Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority, PRSSA, Order of Omega, CLA student ambassador
  • Best thing about being a CLA student: You take a wide range of classes on a variety of topics. The cool thing is that many of my classes are inter-related and touch on similar themes with different perspectives that are really interesting.
  • Favorite place to study: Walter Library because it's a convenient place on campus to get things done.
  • Why I chose CLA : I really liked the political science deparment and was impressed by thte School of Journalism and Mass Communication. They offered the specific public relations track that interests me.
