How did Grove City College prepare you for life after college?
Something special about GCC is that the classes really set you into a habit of constantly wanting to pursue knowledge. Papers and reading assignments sound like a drag when you're forced to do them, but once those stop looming overhead you realize how valuable regularly learning new things is. I am so excited to have graduated and have time to pursue topics that interest me outside of classes - this mindset is going to help me be successful at my job as well as continue to expand my knowledge of the world around me.
After college, I want to...
I would love to work for a small marketing agency or advertising firm - or continue with the web design business I've started!
My friends and I like to...
Have movie nights on the weekends, hang out at Beans on Broad or Sweet Jeanie's, and go to concerts in the nearby cities.
What did you treasure most about your experience at Grove City College?
It sounds so cliche, but the friends I have made while at GCC have been amazing. I know that we will continue to be friends well past graduation, and there's something so special about relationships like that. Also, getting involved in the InterVarsity chapter on campus definitely helped round out my college experience - I was able to go on some awesome trips and attend conferences that completely changed my perspective on the global Christian faith. I met most of my current friends through InterVarsity, so I'd say it played a major part in shaping the experience I've had at GCC.
