Student Spotlight: Jane Gabriel, Marketing Major

I actually came here for the GPPA Pharmacy program. They mandate that you get a bachelor’s degree, in any field, as long as you complete their prerequisites. Most people go for chemistry or biology, but I figured a bachelor’s degree in business, especially marketing would be more practical in the long run. It let me widen my horizons, so I didn’t have to stick with just the sciences or just business.

I am in a sorority on campus, Chi Sigma Omega. We do a lot of community service and fundraising for the Ronald McDonald House, Chicago Canine Rescue, and MS Society. I’m the Academic Adviser so I try to keep everyone on top of their grades. I am also a member of Phi Eta Sigma, Beta Gamma Sigma, and the Honors College. I also work at the Liautaud Graduate School of Business, and that takes up a lot of my time!

I aspire to be happy and successful. I know that’s not the typical answer, but I don’t know where my future will take me, or what career path I’m going to follow. I may be a pharmacist for the rest of my life, or I may just stick with some marketing corporation, or maybe I’ll even combine them. I think I’d enjoy any of those, so why limit myself to one specific position? I’m just going with the flow, working hard, and taking opportunities as they’re presented to me.

I enjoy Modern Family, discovering new music, and long walks on the beach. (Which, of course, is only in my dreams, because this winter is never-ending.)
