Communicator
Cassaundra chose Northwestern because, in her words, “I wanted a Christ-centered education close to home.” She played volleyball for the Raiders as a freshman and participates in intramural sports every year. She’s also been a student ambassador and tutor for biblical studies classes.
Major decisions
I wasn’t sure about my major at first, but the professors and career counselors do a great job guiding students through a decision-making process if you’re unsure. They helped me realize I had a great desire to work in close contact with people every day, and public relations will enable me to do that.
Image of community
It’s a highlight to work with Professor Ann Minnick (who worked in health care public relations before she became a college teacher). The communications department is like our own little family! We all know each other so well and want to see each other succeed as professionals and in life.
Healthy perspective
I’m working my way through college as a certified nurse assistant, so I hope to do public relations in a health care setting someday. I’m glad I’m getting an education where I’m encouraged to be true to myself and my beliefs and values. I’m learning how to take my faith into whatever career I pursue.
PR (prof relations)
This campus is so relational. Professors care enough to really get to know you and will take time out of their day to meet with you about class or things outside of class. I like Northwestern’s size; it’s rare for me to see a student I don’t recognize.
