Senior Highlights
May 14, 2018
There are big things in store for our graduating seniors and we couldn’t be more proud of them! Check out what Morgan, Makenzie, Hailey, Zach and Clay will be up to post-graduation.
Morgan
After graduation, I plan to move back home to Florida. For a couple months, I will work at Disney World as a Food & Beverage Host. In July, I will start the Compassion Go Program for a nonprofit called Compassion International. This program will allow me to travel the country and become a part of a volunteer leadership team. Our goal is to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. I am very excited to gain experience and make a difference in the lives of others! My time as an Event Staff at Student Activities has helped me gain skills that I can apply to my future career. I am so thankful for the opportunity I’ve had to be a part of the SA family these past two years!
Makenzie
As my time at Liberty comes to a close, I have developed a tangible, love-hate relationship with the question “what comes next?”. The long answer is that I plan to return home to Cincinnati, Ohio and work for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital at their psychiatric hospital as a Mental Health Specialist. I also have aspirations to return to school to get my Master’s/PhD in Psychology. However, the short answer to that question is, I have absolutely no idea what I am doing with my life and I change my mind like I change my clothes and I just made some sort of decision literally yesterday. However, I think that there is something beautiful and exciting about having no idea what I am doing next and I am really looking forward to watching my next chapter unfold!
Hailey
I’m so sad that my time as an Event Staff has come to an end, however, I am so excited to say that I have officially accepted TWO new jobs!!! This Summer I will be working as a Software Engineering Scrum Master Intern with FireEye, Inc. (outside D.C.), AND THEN— starting this Fall I will be continuing my work with the Student Activities department, but taking on a new position as the Marketing Project Lead while working towards my MBA (which I will begin working on this May). I am so grateful to have spent two years as an Event Staff on SA & am very excited to see where these upcoming job opportunities might lead me!
Zach
Being a cinematic arts major has been such a rewarding experience for me here at college. I got to learn plenty about the technical, but what I’ll take away most, is to always humanize your art. I’m very excited getting to take what I learned and getting to apply it my future jobs. The job market in the cinematic world are very different from other jobs be it that I’ll mostly will work from job to job, film set to film set. My plan is to move down to Atlanta (East Coast Hollywood) where I’ll have the opportunity to work as a freelancer, working from film to film. My eventual hope is that after I’m more established, I’ll get an opportunity to tell stories that I’m passionate about. I’m passionate about communicating truth I feel honored and humble that I get use my gift of storytelling to be a part of the most influential medium we have today.
Clay
The last four years here at Liberty have been filled with learning and growing. As my time here as an undergraduate student was nearing an end I realized I wasn’t ready to be done with my college days, so I enrolled in the graduate school. I will be earning my MBA while continuing to work here at Student Activities. My time here at SA has been an incredible opportunity to learn more about myself and grow, both personally and in relationships. While I am not sure what the future holds for me, I know that my time here at Liberty and SA has been preparing me for whatever it may be. I’m not one for planning too far ahead, so for now I am looking forward to summertime here in Lynchburg; drinking coffee, enjoying the hot Lynchburg sun, and spending time with the people who have helped me get to where I am today.
