Introduction: Hi, I'm Alli! I'm a senior English major with minors in brand communications and legal studies, and I'm from Rock Hill, South Carolina. I love to read, write, and watch sports. I hope to one day work in either digital marketing or publishing.
Ask me about...: Clemson Undergraduate Student Government (CUSG), volunteering opportunities in Clemson, and the best study spots on campus
My advice for prospective students: Choose a college that feels like home!
My advice for current students: Try new things! You'll meet the best people and make the best memories that way.
Why I chose Clemson and the Honors College: I wanted a smaller-community feeling while still having access to the resources of a university as large as Clemson. I also wanted to be surrounded by people who are as ambitious as I am.
My favorite thing about the Honors College: The people!
My involvement in the Honors College: I am an Honors College Ambassador, and as a first-year student, I lived in the Honors Residential College and participated in the Dixon Fellows Program.
My involvement in Clemson University: I am involved in the Clemson Undergraduate Student Government, a volunteering organization called Two for the Team, and I am a UPIC intern for the Division of Marketing and Communications.
If I could travel anywhere: I would go to Italy, particularly Rome, Venice, and Florence because of all of the history and art there.
My favorite Clemson class: My favorite Clemson class is probably Women Writers, which focused on books about time travel that were written by women. The class challenged the way I viewed time by demonstrating how people experience time differently, and it made me more aware of how I personally perceive time.
What makes me happy to be alive: Watching Clemson Football win makes me happy to be alive, especially when I am in Death Valley!
Favorite place on campus: My favorite places on campus are the library and the reflection pond.
My future goals: I hope to move to a city (not sure which one yet) for work and then potentially go to graduate school.
What are your plans after graduation?: I plan to work in either publishing or digital marketing.
How has the Honors College made a difference in your life?: The Honors College led me to my best friends, which has completely shaped my college experience. I have also been in interesting and niche discussion-based classes that challenged my thinking about everyday things such as social media, which would not have happened if I was not in the Honors College.
