Renee is pursuing an education that won't limit her.
Why did you decide to pursue your major?
I have always been interested in the mass communications field, but wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do as a career. When I found Strategic Communications, I liked that I could learn about a wide range of subjects that interest me, while working towards a degree that is useful in a variety of fields.
What has been your favorite part of your experience at the Hubbard School?
The people that I have met and worked with through the Hubbard School have all greatly added to my experience here. The effort that most professors put into their classes makes Hubbard classes stand out from my other classes.
Which course or professor would you recommend for other students in your major?
I really enjoyed JOUR3745: Media and Popular Culture with Ruth DeFoster! I took it online, and it was super interesting to learn about the trends through the decades. I wrote my final paper on bell bottoms, tracking their popularity, especially with their new resurgence as flared leggings.
What minors, internships, or activities are you pursuing outside of your major?
Outside of my major, I participate in AD Club, and I am the communications intern for the Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences. I am a part of the Hubbard ambassador program and pursuing a minor in UX Design!
What advice do you have for future Hubbard School students?
I would recommend for all students to get involved in anything that sounds interesting to them! Obviously, you don’t want to take on too much, but networking and skill building opportunities are very important!
