Student Advisory Board

I joined the SAB because I wanted the opportunity to collaborate with others to create events that benefit the COLA students. 

After college I look forward to joining the law enforcement field in either the ATF or state police as a k9 handler in a narcotics or bomb division

I am so excited to be a part of COLA’s Student advisory Board. It’s important to have trusting people that bridge the gap between students and faculty.

After I graduate, I’ll start working on obtaining my Geographic Information Systems Professional certification, which includes completing an exam, portfolio, and gaining professional work experience.

I joined the SAB because I wanted to connect with other students in my college and collaborate with them. I wanted to be more involved with the COLA community and meet others I share commonalities with, as there are not many of us pursuing liberal arts as a main field of study at this school.

After I graduate with my bachelor’s in communication, I plan to go to graduate school and study a more specific field of study in communication. Once I have completed that, I might pursue a career in the health field, work for an online publication, or pursue writing in some capacity.

When all else fails, write what your heart tells you. You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” – Mark Twain

I joined the Student Advisory Board because I believe a college's strength isn’t just in its academics, but in how connected and supported its students feel. I’m really passionate about history and education, and I see the SAB as a way to help create a more enriching and inclusive learning environment. By focusing on accessibility and student satisfaction, I want to make sure every student, no matter their background or major, has the opportunities and resources to succeed.

Looking ahead, I plan to pursue a master’s degree in education after completing my undergraduate studies, with the goal of teaching history in a school district. By promoting an inclusive classroom environment, I aim to empower students to connect with the past and use it as a tool to navigate the present and shape the future.

I joined SAB because I wanted to get more involved in COLA and I want others to get more involved too. Being a part of SAB gives me a unique way to encourage my fellow students to be more involved on campus and it gives me the opportunity to make it more enjoyable for us all.

I'm an International and Global Studies and Chinese double major. I joined the SAB because I wanted to get involved in my community, and be a voice for change. 

Currently, my future plans are a little iffy, but I hope to go back to Taiwan and teach English as a second language at some point.

I joined the Student Advisory Board because I love being involved in the COLA community, and I enjoy advocating for my peers. 

After graduation, I hope to join the U.S. Foreign Service with the eventual goal of becoming a diplomat.

I joined the SAB because I believe that the relationships between students and the college itself are crucial to productivity, student engagement, and overall increased unity in the student body. I'm so excited to be working with the other SAB members and COLA student body to help increase unity and engagement in COLA! Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns or just want to chat about political science!

My post-grad plans are to travel and attend graduate school.

I joined SAB to give a voice to my peers who, like me, want to see the best for current and future COLA students. I think there are a lot of changes we talk about making amongst ourselves, and I wanted to be a part of putting those words into action and creating more opportunities for COLA students.

As a Japanese and International and Global Studies double major minoring in Language Science, I look forward to exploring a full-time position in the field of international relations or translation after my graduation this coming spring.
