Susie Risk

Junior majoring in Economics and Political Science

My name is Susie, I am a third-year student majoring in economics and political science. I chose to major in economics at WVU because I wanted to learn more about the economic systems and policies enacted by the Federal and state governments. Now going into my sixth semester, I have also realized a love for political policy, international relations, and macroeconomics. One of the biggest pieces of advice I can give to freshmen is to come to college with an open mind and try everything you can. Student organizations, classes, and even a new major can make you realize what you truly want to do when you graduate! Currently, I am involved in Women in Politics and Government, the Student Government Association, and the Appalachian Advocacy Network. Each of these organizations has helped me become a more well-rounded student and feel more at home here at WVU. I hope that my experiences as a Neidermeyer scholar will allow me to become a mentor and a person people come to for help in the Chamber's college this year.
