2011 Commencement

Closing Remarks

By President Sandy Pfeiffer At the close of each commencement, it is customary to summarize the results of a survey done of our senior class about their immediate plans after Warren Wilson. Here are just a few pieces of information gleaned from the survey you completed about your next adventures. For some of you, the next stop will be an advanced degree or more training. Some sample fields of study include: accounting, art, biology, chemistry, environmental journalism, fiber arts, hydrology, international relations, library science, marine environmental science, secondary education, social work and tropical forest conservation.

Others of you will be heading straight to jobs or internships. Here are a few you mentioned in your responses: Admission Counselor Aquatics Director Archaeology Supervisor Art Dealer Farm Manager Bassist Cheese Maker Chef Sustainable Firewood Worker Circulation and Periodicals Assistant Dairy Apprentice Deck Hand Energy Intern English Teacher Farming Apprentice Garden Manager Grant Writer Grassroots Advocacy Intern Junior Curator Supervisor Marketing Intern Math Teacher Nanny GIS Technician Primate Intern Recycling Coordinator Research Assistant Sales Person Teacher/Corps Member Mediation Center Staff Church Youth Coordinator 12
