Student Spotlight

Paige Melley hops out of bed every morning wondering what she can do to be a force for good. Her high-spirited attitude has driven her to give back on campus, between volunteering with the Busch School and the University as a whole. This sophomore Marketing major explores her passions through various roles on campus, such as the Social Media Chair for Program Board, the Market Research Intern for Girl Talk, and a Team Captain for the Orientation Advisors. She is also a member of the Marketing Society, Toastmasters, and the Major Mentor Program. Her very first business class at CUA, Management 118 with Professor Widmer, also happens to be her favorite because it is what made her fall in love with business. Her proudest moment at CUA has been getting selected as a Team Captain for Orientation 2017, which helps welcome and facilitate a successful transition onto campus for first-year students. She is super passionate about this program because it not only allows her to give back, but also because it allows her to be a resource to students. Paige is looking forward to this summer and to begin her training for OA and to welcome the Class of 2021!
