What kind of things are you involved in around campus?: “I co-founded Tom’s club with my friend. It’s like Tom’s Shoes. They give shoes to kids in need. So, our club is going to do a couple of fun events for the whole campus. Hopefully, raise some money. Also, Collective Consciousness Club. I love yoga.”

What is your favorite place on campus?: “On top of the rock wall. I love studying on top of there because nobody can see me and it’s really fun.”

Best Class so far?: “Digital Photography.”

Dream job?: “I could go either way. I would be perfectly happy with a job in marine biology or I’d be just as happy with a career to do with creative arts like fashion.”

Some girls have all the fun; Devon Elizabeth Williams happens to be one of them. A carb loving, liberal hailing from Lakeville, Massachusetts, Devon is a senior at Eckerd College in Saint Petersburg, Florida pursuing a  major in Political Science with a double minor in Journalism and International Relations. After spending January 2011 in an intensive Winter Term program at the United Nations in New York, Devon realized that taking over the world will be more difficult than anticipated, but nothing that a vivacious red head in stilettos can’t handle. In her free time Devon is a bartending beauty queen who has a soft spot for blueberry pie, Broadway and the scheming antics of Blair Waldorf. When she’s not paddle boarding at the waterfront or laying out on Eckerd’s private South Beach you can find Devon singing in the alto section of the concert choir. At the end of the day Devon is thankful for Newport, RI, her family, Sadie the black lab, Paul Mitchell, her girlfriends, Cheetah, and rhinestones.
