Becoming the Vice President of Public Relations for the Rho Beta Chapter is a Phi Theta Kappa activity that has had a profound impact on my life, both socially and academically. When I initially joined Phi Theta Kappa, I was unaware of the high caliber of company that I was joining. The Phi Theta Kappa community is one where members encourage each other to challenge themselves academically, and invest wholeheartedly in their community. Running for and holding an office in the Rho Beta Chapter has given me the opportunity to meet and develop relationships with my fellow members. Since holding this office, I have met and befriended many new people who continuously inspire me.

Every dime I earn working at Reynolds Community College and every grant and scholarship I receive will go towards my passion of studying human behavior and applying everything I learn to bringing every community I can reach, a giant leap forward. After receiving my associates degree in Social a Science I decided to take a year off to work towards finding what it is that I really want to pursue. I have searched for that 'something ' that will keep me intrigued and awake all hours of the night without realizing it. I have eliminated the idea of simply working to make ends meet or finding a good job to support my family and "living" outside the 40+ hours of a weekday job. I am pursuing much more and I am confident that I have found a path leading me to wake up before my alarm clock sounds instead of praying for more time.
What do I have to gain from the Capital Semester Internship? That question can be answered by displaying what I can contribute as a participant in the Capital Semester Internship. As a senior and a Psychology and African American Studies major at Virginia Commonwealth University, a student worker, and an avid volunteer, I make a strong candidate for the Capital Semester Internship. My research interests which are a combination of psychology and social justice, my career goals that will utilize psychology to influence public policy, and my willingness to learn more about government on a local, state, and national level will help to enrich my experience in Virginia’s legislative branch of government this upcoming semester.
However, I have not allowed this fact to permit urban students to outperform me. By actively communicating with my counselor and administrators, I maximized my educational career. I doubled my math classes, became one of the few to enroll in physics, convinced my Spanish teacher to unprecedently offer third year Spanish, and became Hopi High’s first AP student. At home, I delved into subjects that my school did not offer, such as: philosophy, music, Korean language and history. I have became a dynamic learner to overcome the limit that my environment set, and with this kind of attitude, I believe that I can grow and learn far more in college.

Select a recent, local, national, or international problem and explain why it is meaningful to you. How do you anticipate your college experience and your pursuit of your intended major/academic interest will help you develop a greater understanding of this issue? An issue close to my own heart is one that affects women on a local, national, and international level. Misrepresentation and underrepresentation of women in the media is something that has been around since media of any form first started, but despite the ever-growing diversity of our nation and the world, the staggeringly low number of women in mainstream media has only gotten marginally better.
I am currently an undeclared Liberal Arts major, but I am leaning towards declaring Women’s Studies as my major. I will likely pick up a minor or two somewhere along the way on my journey at UNH due to my wide variety of interests that has made it difficult to declare a major in the first place. The 2016 election was the catalyst for my passion in critical social justice due to the hurtful nature of the campaigns of several of the candidates running for president. During the end of the election I was in an AP Government and Politics class that examined the intentions and outcomes of every move each politician and political party made daily. This forced me to stay informed about the current problems of our nation and stay involved in the
Psychology and the matter of “self” captivated me and allowed me to realize that all experiences are subjective and that it is impossible to remove the "self" from any situation. I also chose to supplement my major with RRS because I believe that it is imperative to realize how institutional legislations and past communal struggles still impact present day life. Alongside my usual 13-19 units a semester and part time job of three years as an academic coach, I was able to heavily contribute to two campus organizations: Asian Student Union (ASU) and Circle K International (CKI). I served as a solo internship coordinator for my entire junior year for ASU, teaching a group of 10-15 college students a semester about the struggles of the community. Here, I created two 10-week program curricula, hosted hands-on workshops, kept track of intern progress reports to present to the Asian American Studies Department faculty, handled administrative duties, and fostered an environment for my interns to be comfortable to learn about themselves.
When I first came to Longwood University I was a Liberal Studies major and as the semester progressed so did my lack of interest towards becoming a teacher. I began wanting to become something that was going to be more helpful to people and be more involved with making a change in a person’s life, so I started to rethink my entire major. When I approached the idea of Social Work, I decided to sit down and have a meeting with Professor Reynolds. She started talking about the expectations of a social worker, all that came with being a social worker, and various placements for social work. As the meeting progressed so did my determination to be a social work major.
How do you plan to use your college education to make a difference in your community? As a hard-working high school senior my main focus is to pursue a higher education after high school and pursue going to college to study computer science. As a young adult I believe It is very important to keep developing as not only a student but also a person, I strongly believe that education is the key component to establishing a
Last week, we had the pleasure of sitting down and talking with Julie Nickerson, a Junior at Simmons College. Nickerson is currently pursuing a double major in Business Management as well as Public Relations, Marketing & Communications and a minor in health care management at Simmons. Nickerson has built her career over a variety of roles ranging from interning at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts last summer, to currently working for Simmons College as a Student Worker in the Academic Programs Office. We wanted to get to know Nickerson more, so we asked her a couple of questions regarding her college decision and life post-graduation: Where did you grow up?
At the time I was working at Metropolitan Ministries’ outreach department. I was questioning changing my major based on Media Writing. I found most people that I worked with had degrees in communication-related fields. This inspired me to change my
