Originally from Orange, Virginia, Paige Williams ’20 talks about her journey to Albertus Magnus College and her experience as an out-of-state student. With a newfound enthusiasm for travel, Paige used Albertus’ central location to explore the cities of New Haven, New York, and Boston. During her senior year, she studied abroad in London, England, securing an internship at the regional publication Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster Today (KCW Today).
“I wanted to attend a college that was out of state with a close-knit community and to actually communicate with my professors and peers without being overwhelmed on a large campus. I knew that attending Albertus, I would have the opportunity to grow and gain the proper skills that would prepare me for my future career in the journalism.”
Paige will receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication in Spring 2020 and will be attending graduate school in Fall 2020.
During her time at Albertus, Paige was a part of the Multicultural Club, the Women’s Tennis team, worked as a Resident Assistant, interned in the Communications and Marketing department, and frequently helped in the community garden.
On her college career, Paige states that “Albertus has taught me the important skills of how to be prepared for the professional world, to stay organized in and outside of the classroom and to always give yourself the opportunity to network and communicate with others.”
Paige is one of our student featured interviews for the 2020 Senior Stories series, which focuses on students’ educational experience leading up to graduation and how they have been impacted by the Albertus Community, on and off campus.
