Hi, my name is Immanuel Bryant and I’m a senior majoring in English with a concentration in Professional Writing & Rhetoric (PWR) and a minor in Leadership Studies. My major’s area of interest explores how education and information can shape a person’s past, present, and future identity. As a CUPID Associate, I will be in the CUPID studio (located in Alamance 318) from 4:15-6:15pm on Tuesdays. During this time I am available to assist students in developing their personal brand, a portfolio of their work/skills, and improving their online presence.
I became a PWR major after visiting Dubai while studying abroad. While in Dubai my class got a city tour, during which our tour guide stated that “English is the language of business in Dubai. If you can speak and use English well, there will always be a job for you in Dubai.” At the time I wanted to work in Dubai post-graduation, so I chose the academic program that would best help me to do so. To sharpen my skills in the use of the English language I have taken several classes and had several leadership experiences that have help me practice the theories I’ve studied in my major.
This summer I worked as the Community Development and Outreach Intern for NC New Schools, an education nonprofit based out of Raleigh. During my time there I worked with the Strategic Partnerships team to conduct prospective partnership, policy, and marketing research. I also conducted a social media analysis for their organization using Google Analytics & Hootsuite to create a report on all of their online platforms. I was also responsible for $10,000 worth of Lenovo equipment during their week long annual conference.
