Introduction: Hi! I am Anna Knobel, and I'm a third-year student majoring in psychology on the pre-professional health track with a double minor in geography (my side hobby) and youth development studies. When I am not in the Honors college, you can find me exploring outdoors all around Clemson, practicing yoga, or singing. While I am passionate about many things, I eventually want to pursue my ultimate passion of changing kids' lives by becoming a pediatric speech language pathologist!
Ask me about...: Greek life, Creative Inquiry, Central Spirit, living in the Honors Residential College, or fun ways to get involved on campus
My advice for prospective students: Take a deep breath, you will end up exactly where you are supposed to be!
My advice for current students: You get what you give; the more you pour into your Honors or general Clemson experience, the more you will get out of it!
Why I chose Clemson and the Honors College: I chose the Honors College because it provided me a space to continue to thrive and motivate myself academically. Furthermore, it gave a community of like-minded, driven individuals who I can lean on for help in everything from classes to getting ice cream. It also made Clemson feel a lot smaller and more welcoming.
My favorite thing about the Honors College: My favorite thing about the Honors College is all of the seminar classes we have to offer! I have taken classes on niche topics such as positive psychology and the tiny house movement, but there are so many unique topics to learn about in a small, conversational setting.
My involvement in the Honors College: I am involved in Honors Ambassadors and an Honors Creative Inquiry called the Youth Scholars Program
My involvement in Clemson University: Beyond the Honors College, I am involved in Greek Life and our school spirit club, Central Spirit.
What makes me happy to be alive: I feel most alive in the little moments such as hearing birds chirp in the morning, feeling sunshine on my skin when I go for walks, or seeing the people I love experience genuine joy!
Favorite place on campus: I love the amphitheater (especially during the Spring)!
Three interesting facts about me: I am left handed, I love feta cheese, and I really dislike apples.
