Senior Highlight: Kennadi Walker

In celebration of our college graduates, we reached out to our seniors for a little highlight and feedback from their time at Eastern. Congratulations on getting your degree! And welcome to the Eagle Alumni Family! Go Eags!

What is your major and minor/certificate and what made you choose that major/minor?

My major is in Secondary English Education.

What is one of your favorite memories so far in your program/at Eastern?           

By far, my favorite memories are the times spent with the amazing friends I made here at Eastern. 

What is your plan after graduation?

I plan to start applying for jobs as a high school English teacher in the greater Seattle area. 

Which faculty member in your program did you connect with the most and why?          

The faculty member that I connected with the most was Chris Valeo. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Valeo as the professor for my Senior Capstone this past winter. Words cannot express the level of gratitude I have for her. The care and compassion she has for her students extends far beyond the classroom. I could not have completed with year without her support. 

What was the hardest assignment you’ve had to do and how did you get through it?    

Any paper I had to turn in for one of Dr. Binney’s classes! The way I got through the essays was thanks to the wonderful Writer’s Center and many lattes from The Mason Jar.
