Why did you decide to major in the English Department?
I chose to major in English because of my love to read and write. At CSB/SJU, my English professors have helped me develop my critical thinking and creativity. These are both important skills that go beyond the classroom.
What has been your favorite English Department class? Why?
I would have to say either Creative Nonfiction (ENGL 311) or the Film Studies electives (ENGL 286/386).
What are you looking forward to as a student in the English Department?
I look forward to writing about my experiences as I travel across Europe in the Spain program and the Italy Creative Writing program.
What advice do you have for other English students?
I always hear things like “English majors don’t make a lot of money” or “You won’t find a good job.” Money does not equate to happiness nor a “good” job. Don’t listen to those people. Do what makes you happy.
