Paige had been actively involved in theatre in high school and was looking at schools where she could perform while studying other disciplines.
“When I visited Principia, I absolutely knew that I had to be there,” she said.
Paige pursued a digital media and journalism major and political science and music technology minors. She was also in three theatre productions, performed as a soloist for the College’s Christian Science Organization, and was a member of the tennis team.
Her diverse interests and Principia classes were an asset to her throughout her Congressional internship. Her political science classes provided a solid foundation as to how government is structured and how bills get passed, while her journalism courses helped her feel more comfortable talking to strangers. Paige’s role at the Congressional District 14 Office involved a significant amount of phone calls and case work.
Paige felt the internship met both her needs and those of the District Office. She received support from the Career Center, which was able to provide a stipend for the unpaid position, and she leaned on her Principia advisor, who felt more like a mentor to her.
“Principia has so many flexible options for students like me who have interests all over the board,” she said.
