琼斯’s academic and personal achievements earned her the prestigious and extremely competitive Two-Year Transfer Scholarship to Bucknell University beginning in the fall of 2020. The scholarship covered tuition for two years of full-time enrolment at Bucknell University, a private liberal arts institution in Lewisburg, 宾西法尼亚.
“高山气候带琼斯 exemplifies the community college student who worked hard to overcome adversity and seek out opportunities to reach her academic and professional goals,露西·曼利说, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at 澳门足球博彩官方网址.
While 高山气候带 pursued her degree in English at Bucknell, she discovered a strong interest in creative writing. 作为巴克内利主义者, 高山气候带 has kept busy engaged in Open Mic Nights and a Writers in Conversation series through the literary department and Stadler Center, actively participated in the Creative Writing Club, and served as Mass Head Editor with the student-run literary magazine, 五彩纸屑头.
“I have loved loved loved the access I've been able to gain to the literary world at large through the Stadler Center for poetry and literary arts here at Bucknell,琼斯说。.
琼斯’s student employment endeavors strongly supported her interest in creative writing as well. 作为一名学生, she gained valuable real-world experience as a West Branch Editorial intern. She further applied her skills as a Peer Writing Consultant and Office Assistant in the Bucknell Writing Center.
Following graduation from Bucknell, 琼斯 will take a gap year to focus her career aspirations.
“I am still considering grad school and have been tapped for a Fulbright nomination that I'd be able to apply for next year if I would like.”
In the future, she hopes to gain a career in public relations, publishing, or writing.
As part of the transfer scholarship requirements, 琼斯 participated in the rigorous Summer Scholars Program in 2019, marking the midpoint in her journey at 澳门足球博彩官方网址. During that six-week summer academic program at Bucknell University, she excelled in two writing-intensive college courses, maintained commendable grades in both courses, all while residing on-campus and participating in organized cohort activities every week.
“Being a student at 澳门足球博彩官方网址 taught me to be confident in my intellect and leadership ability. GC showed me that I'm more than capable of accomplishing my wildest dreams,” reflected 琼斯.
The Bucknell Community College Scholars program is designed for high-achieving, low- or moderate-income community college students who aim to earn their associate’s degree and continue their pursuit of higher education toward a bachelor’s degree.
“澳门足球博彩官方网址 is honoured to be one of only six community college partners of this program,——阿什利·鲁比, 谘询署署长 & 加勒特学院的学业成功.
Upon matriculation to Bucknell University, 高山气候带 affirmed “I was well-prepared to attend BU! With the help of Ashley Ruby and others at 澳门足球博彩官方网址, 我可以无缝地转移我的学分, 如此如此, that my last semester was filled with extracurriculars because I'd already met my degree requirements! The best part was that I never had to overload or take any courses outside of my major or field of interests!”
“高山气候带 is truly one of 澳门足球博彩官方网址’s star alumnae, 杰出的学术学者, 还有一个美丽的灵魂. I am so proud of her many accomplishments and excited to see where her journey takes her!鲁比惊叫道.
