Our campus celebrity this week is Anna Kallenborn, captain of the club tennis team at UConn.
Year: Senior
Major: International Business
Hometown: Westport, CT
HC: What’s your favorite part about being involved with the tennis club at UConn?
AK: Having the opportunity to mange, coordinate and organize, in order to make it possible for thirty people to play on the tennis team.
HC: How has your role as club president affected you?
AK: It’s taught me a lot about the importance of good communication, organization and ensuring that everyone gets what they want out of being part of the team.
HC: What other activities are you involved in?
AK: I am in Delta Sigma Pi, the coed business fraternity at UConn, as well as Guard Dogs, a program that provides safe rides for students. I play intramural soccer, football and water polo, and am training for the St. Louis Marathon in April. I’m currently a global wealth management intern at Merrill Lynch in Hartford, and studied abroad sophomore year in Alicante, Spain and in New Zealand this past winter.
HC: What’s something you’ll miss about the tennis team upon graduating?
AK: Beside playing tennis on a regular basis, I’ll miss being on a team, and traveling with the people I’ve met and have gotten to know to places throughout New England, even to Arizona last year for Nationals.
HC: Any plans after graduation?
AK: I’d like to travel a bit, and then I’ll be working full-time as a systems integration analyst for Accenture.
HC: What’s something you recommend to students as a senior?
AK: Try to get involved in as many clubs and activities as possible, because you’ll never know what you like until you try different things.
