ESU Backup Insider

Emily Ward’s transformation began by getting involved in on-campus clubs and organizations her second semester freshman year. From there, during her sophomore year she began what would become a three-year commitment serving as a Resident Advisor. Over time, she became involved in student government and sought out even more leadership roles, eventually becoming ESU’s Student Senate President.

On the academic side, Emily discovered her new interest in pursuing a career in law and worked with her professors and mentors to help her chart that challenging new course. Once she made up her mind that she not only wanted to graduate with a degree in Political Science/Pre-Law, but also with majors in Sociology and Spanish, along with a minor in International Studies, there was no stopping her.

Initially, Emily chose ESU because it was close to home – yet, four years later, she feels she is more than ready to relocate to Boston and attend Northeastern University School of Law for the next part of her academic journey. “ESU offers great opportunities and equips you with the tools you need to make your own way,” says Emily Ward.
