Katie Lemon

Hi everyone. I am Katie Lemon, an accounting major with a minor in finance. I chose to become a Neidermeyer Scholar because of the impact the program had on me my first year at WVU. As an incoming freshmen, it can be difficult to adjust to the new environment. This program helped me to adjust by ensuring that they could help me with any stresses in my freshman classes. I hope to be able to help the incoming students the way my Neidermeyer Scholars helped me. Some advice I have for incoming freshman is to get involved on campus and don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for help. Getting involved on campus helps you to get to know upperclassmen and network. Once you get to know the upperclassmen and the people around campus, you’ll learn how willing everyone is to help. This makes getting through the school year and adjusting much simpler. My freshman year, I joined Women in Business and Delta Sigma Pi, a professional business fraternity. Both of these extracurriculars are so beneficial to me, both socially and professionally. I have made so many new friends and so many connections with recruiters and employers through these organizations.
