Julie Emory (’19) was able to explore all of her academic interests, continue to graduate school, and persevere despite challenges during her undergraduate career. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having pursued majors in history and intelligence\/national security studies and minors in religious studies, Asian studies, and economics, Emory is no stranger to a full schedule. As a determined first-generation student who supported herself throughout her undergraduate career, Emory worked tirelessly to ensure her success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highlight of Emory\u2019s CCU experience was a study abroad\nopportunity in Osaka, Japan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a self-supporting student, this year long trip would not\nhave been attainable without my scholarships from CCU,\u201d Emory notes. She adds\nthat the trip prepared for her graduate studies at the University of\nWashington, where she is currently pursuing a master\u2019s degree in advanced\nJapanese language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emory is able to dedicate her time as a graduate student to\nintensive Japanese language study due to a Foreign Language and Area Studies\n(FLAS) award from the University of Washington. Emory believes CCU was crucial\nto her academic career and her subsequent achievements, citing her rigorous\nschedule and mentors Jonathan Acuff, associate professor in the Department of\nPolitics; and Ronald Green, associate professor in the Department of Philosophy\nand Religious Studies, as catalysts for her success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCCU taught me to always take initiative \u2014 apply for everything, discipline myself, and plan, plan, plan!\u201d said Emory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just following graduation, Emory held an internship with the CCU-sponsored program Georgetown RISE, a United Nations Centre of Expertise (RSE) on Education for Sustainable Development, in summer 2019. The work involved developing a historic exhibit. \u201cThis experience is something I will never forget,\u201d said Emory. \u201cI worked with Habitat for Humanity to create a museum celebrating the proud legacy of African Americans in the city\u2019s West End neighborhood.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For current students, Emory\u2019s advice is to explore your\npassions in order to determine what you want to do with your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will give the age-old advice with a crucial caveat:\nfollow your heart, to the extent that it is possible,\u201d Emory said. \u201cYou may\nhave to resort to Plan C. But don\u2019t give up\u2014understand the rules of the game\nand play again.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Emory is workshopping Japanese-to-English translations about the Fukushima disaster, with many more exciting projects on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
