I noticed it right away at orientation, and I keep noticing it throughout my leadership minor and the clubs I am involved in. It\u2019s one of the things I love most about the school.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did you major in health studies?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I majored in health studies because it was a nice balance between STEM courses, public health courses and behavioral health courses. I liked that I got to explore everything related to health. I believe it will make me a more well-rounded healthcare provider in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice do you have for Health Studies majors?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would tell Health Studies majors to take advantage of the amazing faculty members and their knowledge. I have had so many professors in this major who have worked in public health or medical settings and they have so many real-life experiences to offer. Don\u2019t be afraid to talk to them after class or go to their office because they\u2019re all exceptional!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the next year, I will continue to work as a nursing assistant at a skilled nursing facility in Wakefield.
