What Can I Do With an English Degree? Alumni Panel Success

The English & World Literatures Department welcomed back four recent alums who shared their success stories and career advice with current majors.

With the arrival of December, dozens of EWL majors - past and present - gathered in the Regina Peruggi Room for a panel of recent graduates and discussion of the benefits of an English degree.

Four of Marymount’s finest returned to their alma mater: 

Theresa Dinh (2012) is a first-year law student at Brooklyn Law.

Cameron Kelsall (2010) is a freelance professional writer. His poetry and criticism have appeared in Drunken Boat, Foothill: A Journal of Poetry, Octave Magazine, and On the Issues Magazine. He earned an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Ohio University in Athens and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Creative Writing: Poetry at The University of North Dakota.  

Alexandra Palmer (2012) is completing her Masters degree in Journalism from the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at NYU, where she received two departmental fellowships for the Reporting New York program, and currently works at the Ronan Farrow Daily show on MSNBC.
