The time has come to spotlight our last senior 😥
Rounding out this series, we have Selma Marić!

Two weeks from today, Selma will graduate with her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science 🎓 Her favorite POL/PUB classes were The Presidency and Intro to Poverty Studies.

Her favorite Elon memory and tradition is Luminaries 🕯️

If there’s one piece of advice she wants to pass on, it’s this: don’t be afraid to try new things - “it’s never too late!”

After graduation, Selma will be studying for the LSAT and applying to law school ⚖️

Congratulations to you, Selma, and to all of our amazing seniors! We are so proud of you all and can’t wait to watch you walk the stage ✨

Today’s Senior is Katie Hull!

Katie is graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science! Her favorite POL/PUB class was International Human Rights with Dr. Swimelar.

Her favorite Elon memory was finally completing her ECF research project and presenting her findings at conferences!

If there’s one piece of advice she wants to pass on, it’s this:

“I would advise undergraduates to really be intentional about how they spend their time, because college moves faster than you expect… Make space for the moments that won’t show up on a transcript, like late-night conversations, spontaneous plans, walking around campus with no real destination, or just sitting with friends and doing nothing in particular.”

“You can work hard and still allow yourself to step away, reset, and enjoy where you are… some of the most meaningful parts of college come from the unplanned, everyday experiences.”

In the coming months, she’ll be studying for the LSAT and applying to law school this fall, with hopes of working in immigration reform and human rights law and policy ⚖️

We’re so excited for you Katie! Thank you for spending the past four years with us❣️
