Edie Talley - Class of 2014
“Young students often focus on existential questions of “Who and what do I want to be?” As an adult student and lifelong learner, I had already answered those questions. My question was: “What do I want to DO?” The answer was EVERYTHING! I thrive on new experiences and my IDS concentration in Leadership Styles & Studies gave me the agility, adaptability, and confidence to blaze fun and challenging career paths.”
