Meet Mary Jewell

Mary Jewell (She/Her/Hers)

Major: Environmental Conservation Biology

Living in Akron, Mary was familiar with the colleges that were nearby. When the time came to apply to colleges, her parents encouraged her to apply to Kent State and a few other colleges.  Mary said “I thought I had may plan all figured out, but in the end, I am very happy they encouraged me to apply.”  Now that she’s on campus, Mary is excited about all the events and different clubs . “There is always something going on,” she said.

As for her dream job after graduation, Mary described herself as “in between dreams at the moment, but I have wanted ultimately to be a National Park manager for a while so I think that’s the dream I’m following right now.”

The one thing Mary would like others in The Class of 2025 to know is that “I am always listening to music – so if they have any suggestions, let me know”

Mary's message to herself in 2025

“No matter what path you end up following, as long as you believe it is the right path for you – I’m proud of you.”
