STUDENT CENTER

Stephanie Geier, Macaulay – Hunter '19, didn't know what she wanted to pursue when she started college, but she wound up double-majoring in media studies and political science with a certificate in public policy. She also interned in communications and volunteered for political campaigns; now, she works as a communications associate at The Fortune Society, the criminal justice nonprofit for which she first interned.

Stephanie’s advice: “It’s definitely OK to be indecisive about what you want to pursue. Keep an open mind, push yourself to try new opportunities, ask for advice from peers and professors. You’ll find your way.”
