Student Stories

Periodically we ask that students describe their experiences as English majors. What classes or activities have proved most significant? What are some stumbling blocks? What hard-earned discoveries might other majors profit from knowing?

Here are a few tales from your peers:

Alyssa L. on editing and publishing opportunities
Allyson C. on learning abroad
Joshua C. on engagement abroad
Rachelle C. on customizing your major
Samone D. on public engagement
Tom D. on public engagement
Larisa G. on engagement abroad
Danielle K. on research opportunities
Emily L. on HECUA and UROP
Emily S. on being the first in her family to attend college

Service learning classes inspired this English major to teach in Senegal

"With service learning classes, you're not just participating in the campus environment: You're a figure outside in the community. After awhile you realize that you're making an impact...You're connecting with different people: and having all these different relationships really changes your future."
