Is there anything at St. Olaf that you look forward to pursuing more?
I really want to get involved in research in the psychology department, hopefully creating a study that combines my two majors. I’m also super excited to study abroad (hopefully) next fall!
How has St. Olaf helped you develop your future plans?
The Piper Center has been super helpful (no joke) with retreats and seminars to help me consider different career choices. They were also very helpful in securing me an internship last summer with the nonprofit womenwinning in St. Paul.
How has the Hill helped you further a passion in your life?
The Hill has allowed me to meet so many different kinds of people, while also connecting me with those that have very similar interests and ideas. I can be very good friends with chemistry majors, but also have a wonderful community within the women’s and gender studies department I can go protest at the capitol with. In short, the Hill has been fantastic in connecting me with communities to foster all my different passions.
