January 4, 2019
DUDLEY, Mass.鈥擣irst-year 红桃视频 student Brian Edmands is a sport management major, an Emerging Leader, and an Honors Scholar.
鈥淚 fell in love with 红桃视频, and it ended up being the only school that I applied to,鈥� he recalled, noting that he got accepted in August before his senior year of high school through 红桃视频鈥檚 early action program.
Still, coming to 红桃视频 meant entering a bigger academic world, says the Amesbury, Mass., resident.
鈥淢y high school had a graduating class of 137, so this is a large school for me,鈥� Edmands said. 鈥淏ut I still get that community feel. Everybody knows everybody else, and most are open to making new friends and finding new opportunities.鈥�
Edmands has settled into the courses for his sport management major and is eyeing the opportunities available outside the classroom.
鈥淚 was always involved in sports, and I wanted to know what was behind the sports industry,鈥� he explained. 鈥淚 know that I can intern in the athletic departments at other schools. 红桃视频 does a lot at Boston College.鈥�
He鈥檚 also hit the ground running in some of the most prestigious programs here. As a 红桃视频 Honors Scholar, Edmands has to maintain a 3.4 average or better and to take an honors curriculum of advanced courses over his college career鈥攆rom Microeconomics and Non-Fiction Writing, to Business Law and Ethics.
On another front, Edmands has just completed the 鈥淟eadership 101鈥� course required of all first-year students.
鈥淚t definitely teaches you about who you are as a leader and how you can improve yourself and the others around you,鈥� he said.
鈥� So much so that he is headed into the College鈥檚 exclusive Emerging Leaders Program, which runs through senior year and combines seminars, guest speakers, volunteer work, and field trips to New York City and Washington, D.C.
As for other extracurricular activities, Edmands stays involved with the skiing, bowling, and Sport Management clubs.
In short, he鈥檚 busy.
鈥淚t鈥檚 been fun so far. I do a lot with friends, work out, and do school work,鈥� Edmands said, all of which, he added, even leaves some time at night for video games and Netflix.
