I am currently a junior majoring in Political Science and I am also the president of Rowan’s International Club. When I’m not in class, you’d most likely see me at International Center, where I work as a Student Worker. In my free time, when I’m not doing school work (which unfortunately doesn’t happen a lot), you’d probably see me playing Pokemon on my 3ds, or watching Netflix or any of my favorite tv shows: HTGAWM, Modern Family, The Crown, Quantico, to name a few. I’d love to meet new people! A transfer student myself, I understand the difficulties that new transfer students face and I would be thrilled to help you in any way I can, while gaining new friends in the process. www.rowan.edu/advising [email protected] RowanTransfers Meet the Spring 2017 Mentors Rowan University Transfer Services Emily Beach Junior Elementary Education and Liberal Arts: History/ Writing Arts Major [email protected] Hi!
