Edris Roman '24
Edris Roman 鈥�24 found her passions while she was at IC.
A double major in English and marketing, Roman felt that her choice in majors would perfectly set her up for success in a future career. She made the most of her English and marketing skills as a content manager for the English department鈥檚 social media channels.
It wasn鈥檛 until she began working in residential life, however, that her interests shifted.
鈥淚 first started in res life as a residential assistant when I was a junior and became a hall director during my senior year. My time working in res life has really impacted me. I love seeing students grow throughout their college careers knowing that I had an impact on them.鈥�
Roman credits IC鈥檚 small size with her success in residential life and as a member of the literary society Gamma Delta.
鈥淏eing involved in residential life, especially in roles typically reserved for graduate students at other institutions, has been such a valuable experience,鈥� Roman notes, 鈥淎dditionally, participating in literary societies has significantly improved my public speaking and writing skills, which are essential for personal communication.鈥�
Upon graduation, Roman began a Masters in Marketing Communications at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
