Singer, dancer, mentor, and leader, Cara has firsthand knowledge about opportunities to get involved and express yourself on campus. A double major in music and psychology, Kara plans to use her education to guide events and help couples create the wedding of their dreams. Kara, the floors are yours.

– Thank you, Alex. Hey, everyone. When I was younger, I was a pretty shy kid who was full of dreams and creativity. I always had a love for following my passions no matter what. Hanover College has given me several opportunities to express myself whether that’s been in the arts, through campus jobs, or even being in charge of your own club here on campus. You can definitely find something that you love. Two of the most influential parts of my Hanover experiences has been through choir and campus jobs. Choir has given me several opportunities such as creating long-lasting friendships and even getting to travel to Bulgaria to perform in our own concert tour. All of these experiences let me to pursuing a music major. Networking on campus had led me to two different jobs: I’m a peer advisor and a peer mentor for the first year students here on campus. It has been amazing to help guide the first year students through their Hanover College journey. Greek involvement is a popular part of campus life, being in a sorority has changed my life for the better. I have gained a new family to laugh and share memories with. Another inspirational family has been the dance team. Being president comes with lots of responsibility and dedication, but I couldn’t see myself doing anything else. Once my time wraps up at Hanover, I get to call the Magic Kingdom Home as I participate in the Disney College Program for seven months. I hope to one day combine these educational experiences to help other people’s dreams come true as I become a wedding and event planner. Back to you, Alex.

– That’s awesome, Kara! Singing, dancing, even performing across Bulgaria, it’s hard to picture you as being shy. Hanover’s nurturing culture provides many avenues for students to grow into the best version of themselves. Students have so many opportunities to try classes, clubs, and other activities to pursue their passions. Thanks again, Kara.
