Welcome to Rowan! Could you share with us one thing you are looking forward at Rowan University?

I’m looking forward to getting involved with finding internships and meeting other people in the advertising and marketing industry.

What is one hobby, activity, sport or club that you’re involved in that you’d like to continue at Rowan?

I’m currently in NSLS [National Society of Leadership and Success] and Phi Theta Kappa that I will continue to work hard for and utilize through college!

Is there anything you’re hoping to discover about yourself at Rowan? Grow a new skill? Try a new interest? Starting a new activity, sport or club?

I’m hoping to narrow down the exact job I want in life in the advertising field, since it is so broad. I’d like to gain more information on the topics and take classes that relate to my field in hope to find what interests me most.

What major(s) are you considering and why?

Advertising and possibly a minor in marketing. This field is on the rise especially for social media, and I like the idea of change and different topics and people everyday rather then an office desk.

Did you tour Rowan or attend any virtual events? If so, which ones, and what did you think?

Not yet, but I am planning to attend orientation in June!

Do you have advice for other transfers who haven’t committed to a school yet?

Choose what makes you happiest and what is best for you in the long run!

What is one thing about Rowan itself that you liked?

I like how involved they are in each field and how they have so many different options for helping decide what is best and the atmosphere of the campus.

Like what you see?
