We’re back with another Retweet Rapport! We’re talking about our faculty and students successes, and the power of English majors. Stay tuned for who won Tweet of the Week!

Let’s start with successes!

Agreed. Such great people. We @bsuenglish are lucky. https://t.co/rEoyGXwmok

Kinda geeking out at the CADMA Digital Marketing Summit. I think this is what I want to do.

Digital Marketing allows a good balance for my creative and analytical sides, not to mention lets me utilize my English major/rhet & business minor skills. 😌#bsuenglishworks

Glad to hear how much your English major has helped you out, Macy!

Everyone had a great time at the Stars To Steer By event last night. We had some great speakers. Take advantage of these events and meet professionals who work in different fields but have a liberal arts background. Keep an eye out for events with the hashtags #STSB #LiberalArts pic.twitter.com/B4DVVLqVlv

We also talked about where our major has taken us.

Exactly. You don’t need a major that serves as a conveyer belt to a job. You don’t need absolute certainty. When you know how to form an excellent research question, you know how to pivot, how to prove to someone you can do the job–whatever it is. #bsuenglishworks #liberalarts https://t.co/1VatphxP5V

Good thing English majors are masters at research!

I’m very thankful for all the great opportunities #bsuenglish has offered me from The Broken Plate and DLR to finding a passion for screenwriting. #bsuenglishworks

Immersive learning classes are like internships…job experiences that don’t pay in money but in INCREDIBLE skills and learning opportunities. If you have the time, take two. #bsuenglishworks

I relate to this quote, especially when looking back on my first two years of college, when I was trying to pursue the quantitative fields of study because it was the “smart” decision.#bsuenglishworks

May many more writers learn to trust in their passion.

We also spread some love (and will soon spread more) in the community!

Of course, we couldn’t leave out the biggest accomplishment of all, winning #bsuenglish’s Tweet of the Week! Congratulations to Marisa Sloan! 

Networking has set off a chain reaction for me. I had my first informational interview today, then I went up to a guest speaker after a workshop, joined AIGA, and connected with designers. I am deeply grateful for the stories and feedback everyone has given me. #bsuenglishworks

After all that hard work, you’ll love what we’ve got planned for you next week. Think about the stories you love, #bsuenglish, so we can add them to next week’s Retweet Rapport post!
