I am happy to have interviewed this Campus Celebrity this week. However, I am sad beacause it means that we’re saying goodbye to one of our HC uOttawa writers that we all adore and love so so much!
Her Campus: What was your program?
Bolu Erinoso: Honours with a Specialization in Communications (co-op).
HC: Would you recommend your program and why?
BE: I think it’s a great program to really develop critical thinking skills especially relating to media, which was my focus. It also allows the flexibility to enter different fields like PR, journalism, or marketing; there’s no clear limit to communications. Also, getting into the co-op program is very important! Having experience helps to narrow down what you like or don’t like, and it really helps after graduating.
HC: Are you looking for job in your field? What would be your dream job?
BE: I got bridged in to a position at the CFIA through my co-op placement so I’m not currently looking for a job. I think my dream job would have to be related to marketing and branding or working with the United Nations. Something that will allow me to mix travel and work.
HC: What will you miss the most about uOttawa?
BE: I’ll miss my classes, friends, and the poutine at Bac à frites.
HC: Will you be pursuing a graduate diploma?
BE: Eventually, I might get an M.B.A.
HC: You were with HC uOttawa since last year? What was your position and what will you miss the most?
BE: I was a writer on the Fashion & Beauty team. I’m going to miss my team so much! Those girls are the best.
HC:Â What were you involved with on campus as an undergraduate student others than HC?
BE: I was part of the Sigma Beta Phi Sorority, volunteered for the Fulcrum and Zoom Productions a few times.
HC: Do you have any regrets from your undergraduate years? What would you change if you could?
BE: Not really, it was all part of the experience. And I’ve had a pretty good one.
HC: What advice would you give your undergraduate self?
BE: Study harder and go to more events.
HC: What is your short-term goal?
BE: I want to give 100% to my fashion and lifestyle blog called Whimsicalsoles especially now that I’ll be working full-time and not writing for Her Campus anymore, it will be my main creative outlet.
HC: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?Â
BE: In 5 years, I see myself with my dream job or at least on the right path to getting my dream job. Living in a beautifully furnished condo maybe outside Canada, with my puppy Prada that won’t be so imaginary anymore.                                                                     Â
We’ll miss having Bolu at Her Campus uOttawa. We wish her all the best in the future and hope she keeps rocking eveything she touches!
