When I started at Meredith, I was planning to major in biology. Since middle school, I thought pursuing a career in STEM was what I needed to do. During my first year at Meredith, however, I was struggling to grasp the course material and slowly started to realize I was unfulfilled in studying biology.
With support from Meredith faculty and staff, Emma Bailey made the most of experiential learning opportunities including study abroad and an impressive internship. A business administration major, she worked as a social media marketing intern at Liberare, an adaptive clothing brand with a global presence. Along the way, she also established a blog focused on disability lifestyle and travel.
The faculty and staff are super welcoming and really passionate about us getting hands-on experience. I’ve definitely made a lot of connections with them through our classes and since they’re really small class sizes, I get to know the faculty really well.
Not everyone gets to choose what they do on purpose. Sometimes it’s just based on what’s available and what you’re qualified to do. I think we’re better people when we get to do something that is uniquely interesting to us.
