J.D. Candidate, Case Western Reserve University School of Law
Major: Political Science
“Queens provides students with the perfect combination of a smaller campus and tight-knit community with a midsized city. There are so many opportunities to get involved in clubs, politics, and study abroad. In fact, Queens’ study abroad program was one of the reasons I chose Queens. The study abroad in Aix-en-Provence propelled my French and confidence living in a foreign country. I feel more prepared than other students to take on my first year of law school.”
Commercial Communications Coordinator, NASCAR
Major: Communication
“Queens helped me prepare for life after graduation by providing various resources to help me obtain a job. The internship opportunities and faculty members’ connections to industry professionals helped elevate me to success after graduation. The career office was exceptional in assisting me with building a stronger resume and becoming a better job candidate. By hosting networking events, mock interviews, and simply providing professional clothing, they helped me become my best professional self.”
Engineering Manager/Product Designer, ClickFold Plastics
Major: Physics
“My overall experience at Queens was beyond my expectations. I had great years with many memorable moments on the swim team as well as in the classroom. I had amazing professors who were helpful both inside and outside the classroom, and the support from Vandiver Center for Career Development was vital for my start in the real world.”
Master of Science Candidate, Occupational Therapy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Major: Health Science
“During my undergraduate years at Queens, I was provided experiences that prepared me for the future through athletics, internships, clubs, and traveling to Ecuador with the John Belk International Program. In particular, the career office provided a variety of opportunities, resources, and coaching for post-graduate success.”
Designer, House of Nomad
Major: Interior Architecture and Design
“My overall experience at Queens was wonderful. Each course was aimed at preparing me for success after graduation. For example, the Interior Architecture and Design program taught me specialized computer design and hand- drawing skills. These sought-after skills opened me up to career opportunities in various niches within the design field. While at Queens, I also served on the board of multiple organizations and am now a confident leader in the workplace.”
Registered Nurse, Labor and Delivery, Atrium Health
Major: Nursing
“Queens is a place that allowed me to grow as a person and future nurse. The professors truly met my needs as a student and helped me achieve my goals. They were always willing to help me gain a better perspective on patient care and evidence-based practice. If I could do it all over again, I would come back to Queens!”
Audit Fellow, PwC
Major: Accounting
“I enjoyed everything about Queens. I appreciated the small class sizes that allowed for a more intimate experience and always felt that professors were there to help. Additionally, the career office provided guidance on seeking out opportunities and building professional connections. With their support, I found the audit program I’m currently a part of.”
Published Author: Business Insider, Huffington Post, Newsweek
Major: Creative Writing
“The mentorship I received from my professors continues to be invaluable, particularly as I’ve published original work with Business Insider, The Huffington Post, Newsweek, and more. While at Queens, I took a masterclass in poetry with Ada Limon, the current Poet Laureate of the United States. The courses expanded my knowledge of creative writing and introduced me to the study of creative nonfiction.”
Prepared Students – Preferred by Employers
“I am impressed with the high caliber of Queens students. It’s hard to make hiring decisions because there are so many excellent candidates. Queens prepares these students well and it shows.”
