I love getting to meet so many first year students during intake appointments, and getting to help students work on their resumes is really rewarding when they get internship and job offers. 

 

 

Definitely CoCoWoRo (Connecticut College Women’s Rowing). I’m a captain this year so there’s a lot of responsibility, but nothing beats the feeling of rowing on the Thames with your crew. 

 

 

Join clubs, go to dance shows, attend lectures, get involved! Being an active part of the campus community is what college is all about — plus you’ll meet great people.

 

 

Philosophy of the Environment with Professor Turner. I enjoyed thinking about the environment in a new way, and learning alongside students with various academic backgrounds. 

 

 

Schedule everything. If it’s not on my calendar, I’ll forget about it. It’s also important to have a realistic understanding of how much is too much and how to cut back. Don’t forget to schedule time for yourself! 

 

 

Buster Posey. He’s a catcher for the San Francisco Giants baseball team, and I always try to see him play when I’m home. 

 

 

Read every book in the library! Just kidding. I want to go camping in the arbo and write a “How-To” guide for California students coming to the East Coast.
