Laura Packard
English, BA
Graduated in Fall 2019
Laura has always had a passion for reading and discussing literature, so they knew before they even applied for college that they would study English. Even so, they didn’t yet have a full understanding of the field itself. Their experiences conducting research, studying abroad, and completing two co-ops led them in a direction they never would have foreseen and showed them how they could apply their major and skills in the real world.

“For me, English is the study of the power of words and the history of how those words have shaped the world.”
