Meet the Majors: Spanish

Every week, The Beacon will offer a chance for majors to be placed in the spotlight. Each student that gets chosen will have a few words to express why they chose the major and how they feel it will benefit them in the future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Harrison Eckert – Senior

“I am a double major in biology and Spanish. I came to Wilkes as a pre-pharmacy major then decided that was not what I wanted to do. I transitioned to spanish because I worked with Dr. Bianco before college to write two textbooks with her. My dream job would be to work as a trauma surgeon by day and help teach in a medical institution at night.”
