Emma Brown
Meet Emma! She is a junior studying Animal Behavior & Cognition in the College of Psychology and Liberal Arts.
Emma chose Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» because she knew it would help shape her into the person she wanted to become. The university’s commitment to research, numerous undergraduate opportunities, and variety of extracurricular activities made her decision easy. Growing up as a military brat, she attended several schools in different countries, but none felt like home the way Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» does.
As a President’s Ambassador, Emma hopes to apply her leadership and advocacy skills in new contexts and work with a group of like-minded individuals. She also aims to strengthen her professional skills and connect with people outside of her field of study.
After graduation, she plans to pursue a master’s degree and a Ph.D., then hopes to work in animal refuges or conservation centers located in biomes facing the highest animal extinction rates, such as rainforests.
Her favorite thing about Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»: “Being a member of its rich environment and community. Despite being a small school, it encompasses the same liveliness and passion for its student body as a large state university. From events and activities to classes and study sessions, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» has an inclusive and powerful culture that makes me excited to wake up and begin every day. And seeing rocket launches from campus!”
Her involvement at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»: Campus Activities Board (Head of Programming), Student Government Association (Student Community Committee Chair), Animal Research Center Lab (Spider Monkey Vocalization), Rotaract Club (Treasurer), Panther Peer Mentor Program (Mentor), Relay for Life (Vice Chair, Public Relations & Social Media Head), Phi Eta Sigma, Orientation Team (Senior Panther Prep Leader)
Her involvement off-campus: Crisis Text Line (Crisis Counselor)
