Hey! My name is Emily and I am a Public Relations major in the College of Communications. I am from Sunbury, Pennsylvania, a small town about an hour and half east of State College. So far, I am really enjoying being a freshman at Penn State and am looking forward to the upcoming year.
I took this class because it was recommended to me by the advisors at the College of Comm. when i was signing up for classes during NSO. As a Comm major, science is not my strong point and the advisors acknowledged that I may find this course interesting because it looks at science from a different perspective. So, I decided to go ahead and sign up for the course. I am much better at writing than science which is why I am a not a science major and in the College of Communications.
In my spare time in high school, I took dance at a studio in my hometown, singing and playing the piano and guitar, and hanging out with friends. I also work at local restaurant and the local news radio station that is in my surrounding area.

Hi Emily, I noticed that you said you worked in a local restaurant. I did too the summer of my senior year! I’m majoring in hospitality (restaurant) management and really loved my job. I recognized many things I had learned in the restaurant industry here and thought you may find some too!
