Creative communicator

A campus visit when she was a high school sophomore was enough to start Hannah’s love for Northwestern. “Everyone was so friendly and outgoing,” she says. Hannah was drawn to public relations for the numerous opportunities it offers, enabling her to pursue her love of writing and the creative side of marketing. An NAIA All-American and Scholar-Athlete in competitive cheerleading, she helped her team earn back-to-back GPAC championships and their first appearances at nationals.

Exceptional community

The community on campus is like no other. It is such a blessing to see the same people every day and have the opportunity to develop real relationships because of the small campus size! Everyone is so friendly and always having fun together!

Great launching pad

What I appreciate so much about public relations is that I get to express my passion for writing through writing-intensive classes, while also immersing myself in creativity through art and design classes! Specifically, the thing I love most about PR is how broad it is. Depending on the direction I take, I could have the credentials to be a journalist, a social media manager, a public relations manager, or even a graphic designer.

Profs who care

Northwestern’s faculty make a true effort to get to know each student on a personal level. I have loved interacting with favorite profs by stopping by their office to chat or running into them on campus. I appreciate that they are always open to answering questions and discussing ways to help each student succeed.

Hands-on

I think the business department’s biggest strength is their striving to prepare students for real-world situations. In many of my classes, specific situations and case studies have been discussed to give students a real example of how class information will be used in their future careers.

Added value

Being a member and captain of the cheer team, I have learned what it means to lead by example through the effort I give each day in practice. In being consistently surrounded by strong, dedicated Christians on campus, I have been challenged to continue to pursue my relationship with Christ.
