Nola Todd

Sophomore Entrepreneurship & Innovation major

Hi! My name is Nola Todd and I am a sophomore majoring in Entrepreneurship & Innovation. 

During my first visit to Morgantown, my Discover WVU experience was guided by Chambers Ambassadors. The opportunity to have conversations with people who could be my peers gave me a real glimpse into what my future could be like at WVU in Chambers College.

Once I became a student at WVU, I realized just how many opportunities were presented by the Chambers College. I quickly wanted to immerse myself and take advantage of everything that was available to me. I applied to the Honors College, became a member of Women in Business, and utilized the tutoring services available in the AESC Center. 

My biggest advice to freshmen would be to immerse yourself in your experience and take advantage of the resources available! The sheer amount of possibilities and opportunities available at WVU and specifically in the Chambers College may seem overwhelming at first, but I promise you will find your niche. The best way to do so is by trying new things and seeing what works for you. Don't be afraid to try something you have never done before, and don't feel bad if it doesn't work out!

Something I have found to be very valuable is diversifying my involvement and experience. I'm involved in extracurriculars within Chambers College, like Women in Business, as well as a few outside of the business school, such as Appalachian Advocacy Network and the LGBTQ+ Bookclub. I also work an on-campus job at the University Place Starbucks. This variety of involvement has allowed me to meet lots of different people and keeps me feeling fulfilled in all different areas of my life.
