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