My Wesleyan Experience

I am a recent Magna Cum Laude graduate from North Carolina Wesleyan University with a degree in Computer Information Systems with a concentration in Web Design. North Carolina Wesleyan University has made a positive impact on my life by helping me identify my future career. When I started college, I was unsure of what I wanted to do after I graduated. However, while attending Wesleyan, I was able to grow and figure out what I wanted to do with my life. NCWU has not only professionally, but personally made an impact on my life because I was able to meet some amazing people there that will forever be in my life. I am extremely grateful for my four years at NC Wesleyan.Callie Cline
