Elijah Dower
Hi, my name is Elijah Dower, I am a sophomore here at WVU. I am an accounting major, and I have loved the program thus far. I gained an interest in accounting when I was in high school and took a few business classes, I found I really enjoyed and understood everything I was taught in my accounting classes in high school. I have a great interest in working with numbers and my personal finances, which has further solidified my decision to pursue a career in accounting. My biggest advice to freshmen is to just enjoy your time and make sure you are leaving time to do things you enjoy. In your first year it is easy to put everything you have into school but it is so important to leave time to do things such as hobbies or hanging out with friends as well, I speak from experience when I say leave time for these things. At WVU I am involved in the Beta Alpha Psi business fraternity. I am also involved in WVU Young Life. Outside of school I enjoy doing things outdoors such as hunting, fishing, archery, and hiking.
