Campus Celeb: Jessica Pate

1. Where are you living this year? I live on Linden Street with some pretty average people, but I am from Inver Grove Heights, MN!

 

2. How are you involved on campus? I’m pretty involved on campus. I used to play hockey for the St. Olaf Women’s Hockey team but I got too many concussions so now I help coach (bow down). What takes up a lot of my time now is the Manitou Messenger, where I’m the Business Manager. I also am a member of Love Your Melon, Investment Club, and College Republicans.

 

 

3. Do you have a favorite memory from Olaf? I would say living with my best friends and going to the Ole Store for breakfast way too often.

 

4. What are the top 3 things you have learned being a student at St. Olaf? Definitely don’t be afraid to ask for help (as cliché as it sounds), be kind to everyone, and remember that college is gonna be stressful but you will always get through it.

 

5. Post-grad plans? What a daunting question. I am currently applying to jobs in the cities in the areas of public relations and communications. I plan to go to grad school after getting some work experience and a better knowledge of what I want to do!

 

6. Favorite prof? I got a couple. Sian Muir, Kris Thalhammer, Sean Goldsworthy (FAV ADVISOR)

 

 

7. Celeb crush? Steph Curry MMMM I can tell you nothing about basketball but I can tell you he is beautiful.

 

8. If you could name one person at Olaf to be a future president of the US of A, who would it be and why? Megan Skelly no doubt. Girl is gonna do things!

 

9. What do you think you’ll miss most about St. Olaf? I’ll miss how nice everyone is how easy it is to have all your friends in the same city.

 

10. Any advice to the younger students? Just take it day by day.. it will all work out in the end
