Ezra Briggs- political science major, minors in history, theater and honors
As well as his major, Briggs is graduating with minors in history, theater and honors. The summer after graduation, Briggs is taking two months and teaching English in Haiti. When he returns he plans to move to Portland and hopes to get an Ed-tech position at the East End Community school. “This is new territory for me, but I’m really excited about it,” Briggs said.
Carlene Orsillo – communications major
Along with her major, Orsillo also minored in business and public relations. Orsillo is going abroad after graduation, first to Iceland, then to South Africa to complete an internship and participate in a leadership program, and finally to Hawaii. After these adventures, she hopes to travel even more, to Paris for an internship at UNESCO and a job opportunity in China. If all goes well, she hopes to attend the American University in China for Strategic Communications and Public Relations. She looks forward to working on her photography and videography as she travels.
