“As an English major at Michigan State
University, I found my voice. From my
first semester Creative Writing course,
to my summer abroad studying
Shakespeare in London, I was
challenged to ‘join the conversation,’
think critically, form carefullyconsidered opinions, and craft winning
arguments on and off paper. In my
life after college, I was surprised to
learn that the ability to write well is
considered an extraordinary skill in
the workforce, and often is the most
sought-after quality in job applicants
among employers. In my career, not
a day goes by where I do not closely
read and analyze a variety of texts,
draft documents that explain complex
theories, or solve problems effectively.
I’d encourage anyone to become an
English major to hone their skills and
find their voice, as I did.”
