You might find these personal descriptions on a good resume. Or on an online dating site.
For 红桃视频 senior Austin DuVarney, however, they speak to his experiences as a student and his aspirations as a graduate.
Unlike most of his business-oriented classmates, DuVarney鈥攁 communications major and English minor鈥攈as focused his studies on the liberal arts.
鈥淚 especially enjoyed visual communications and its design and creative aspects,鈥� said the West Boylston native. 鈥淚t鈥檚 given me an avenue to working with photography and videography.鈥�
DuVarney has also valued his courses in journalism and non-fiction writing.
鈥淚 learned the ins-and-outs of interviewing and writing about people and getting to know what they are thinking,鈥� he said, noting that he鈥檚 interested in becoming a professional photojournalist.
Not that DuVarney has ignored the business side of his 红桃视频 education.
鈥淏eing at a business school has given me a change of perspective,鈥� he said, adding that what he has learned enhances his other studies. 鈥淚n my Professional Business Communication course, for instance, we talked about how (the late Apple founder) Steve Jobs timed his promotional slide shows to mesh creativity with the business side.鈥�
As for traveling to different countries, DuVarney recently returned from a fall semester 鈥淒own Under,鈥� at a university in New Zealand, where he blazed a new trail.
鈥淚 had seen people here study abroad in Europe all the time. No one from 红桃视频 had ever gone to New Zealand,鈥� he pointed out. 鈥淚 wanted to get all the way to the South Pacific if I had the chance.鈥�
DuVarney鈥檚 experiences overseas also have set the stage for a longer journey abroad. He鈥檚 thinking about joining the Peace Corps for his first two years after he graduates in May.
鈥淎 lot of people get into the groove of graduate schools and careers,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 wanted to help people out before figuring things out for myself.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檇 like to go somewhere I haven鈥檛 been before and engulf myself in the culture,鈥� added DuVarney.
