Major: English

yan

My name is Clara, and I am an English major, with a minor in Writing and Rhetoric. I am in both the accelerated BA/MA program and English Honors Program. Over the last three years at SBU, I’ve played an active role in the English department and student organizations through Alpha Nu Zeta, SBU’s chapter of the International English Honor Society, in which I served as Public Relations Officer, and now as Treasurer, as well as through the English Honors Program, URECA Summer Fellowship Program, and two TA positions. Outside of my department, I’ve been working at SBU Career Center for the past two and a half years, first as a Communications Intern and after being promoted, as a Communications Assistant. I have also been working at the Writing Center as a Tutor since last year. In both positions, I’ve helped and worked with students of all majors, interests, and backgrounds, regarding career paths, writing courses, university resources, and more. If I am chosen to serve on the Student Advisory Committee, I’ll be able to effectively communicate the voices of my CoAS classmates, whether they are from the English department, the Humanities, or other disciplines. While I will be completing my undergraduate degree this Fall, because of the BA/MA program, I will be transitioning to the SBU Master’s Program in English full time this Spring and will be here at SBU for an additional year.
