This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Mercer chapter.
Name: Austin Hamilton
Major: Global Health Studies
Organizations Involved:
Residence Life, American Chemical Society, and Bears Battling Cancer
Favorite thing about MU: the emphasis placed on Academia and being able to build a personal relationship with the faculty in my department.
Favorite class: this semester it would have to be IGS 380: relationships between sex, health, and culture.
Role Model:
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. Learning to be confident and own everything you do is such a valuable life skill!
What is one piece of advice you have for freshmen?
learn to be flexible with what you want to do in life. Take this time to really find something you’re passionate about and not just an area that could be a solid career path in the end.
Future Plans:
Continue into higher education to get my MPH and find an area in public/global health where I can make a difference. I’m not too sure yet with the details, I’m just staying flexible!
