Sydnie Taylor, junior cardiovascular technology major, is from Blythewood, S.C. She is a member of Gamecock Lutheran, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated and Scan Time. She is a student-worker in the Office of Student Affairs and Academic Support.

"When I came to USC, I was looking for academic rigor and a spirited campus life. USC delivers that perfectly, from bustling Greene Street events to late night study sessions at T-Coop and who can resist the electric comradery of a Willy-B game?”

"As a cardiovascular technology major, I’m discovering the fascinating world of heart health and medical innovations. I'm excited to use my compassion for others and my love of medicine to make a positive impact in my future patients' lives."

"My passion for reading and writing made applying for the student email editor position a no-brainer. Crafting engaging stories and updates for the student body allows me to blend my creative side with my academic side, showing that you can follow your purpose and your passion."

 

“Coming to USC as an out-of-state student allowed me to broaden my horizons beyond just my classes and clubs. Even just walking around campus, I’m always meeting new people or bumping into events I didn’t know about.

Grace Wilson, senior English major, is from Brookline, N.H. She is editor-in-chief for Her Campus and a student-worker in the Division of Communications and Marketing.

“Through the English program, I’m preparing for graduate school while getting the chance to dive into new discoveries with the versatile course load. Taking classes taught by award-winning authors was definitely a highlight of my experience here.

“I found a creative outlet in the Her Campus club. Moving from a writer to editor-in-chief has allowed me to put my education into practice and given me practical experience that will translate into a future career. Doing this all with a group of strong, creative and inspiring women on my side has been nothing short of a dream."
