Biology major and Legal Studies minor, Adams Center, New York
Hailey chose to complete Hartwick in three years instead of four and has one of the top GPA’s on the women’s lacrosse team. During her Freshman year she broke the season assist record that had been in effect since the 90’s. She beat her record from last season and now holds the top two spots for assists in program history. Hailey has proven to be an outstanding asset to Hartwick on and off the field.
Hailey was awarded the Freedman Prize this year as well for student-faculty collaborative research in the physical and life sciences. This prize was awarded to only four students in this category; and, will help fund her senior research project. She will work with with Assistant Professor Stephanie Carr ’06 to understand biofilm production on subsurface rocks.

“Are you a leader? Can leadership be learned? Honor students explore their potential to inspire others to learn more, do more and work toward common goals. Today, there is a strong demand for effective and ethical leadership that will create change for the common good. The challenge is for young people to be prepared and able to lead in complex situations.”
“Leadership is an essential subject. In my honors seminar, students examine their own assumptions, attitudes and styles to begin to identify and critique their own perspectives on leadership.
Students analyze what leaders do and then integrate these insights into their personal roadmap. They work together to create a leadership workshop to raise campus-wide awareness of leadership opportunities and to encourage other students to participate in leadership development.
An innovative approach is used to allow students to design, develop and execute a service-learning project that focuses on leadership. Most importantly, this approach allows students to begin to synthesize their own personal perspectives on leadership and to improve their collaborative skills for working effectively in teams. In addition, this service-learning project gives participants the opportunity to reflect and become aware of their own assumptions, attitudes and leadership mindset.”
Graduate Student, Syracuse University
Political Science and History major
Brianna spent her first year after graduation working and applying to Ph.D. programs in political science. She will be starting her graduate work at Syracuse University in the fall of 2018 focusing on American Politics. Brianna’s experience as a political science and history double major inspired her decision to work towards her doctorate and seek out a career in academia.
Brianna particularly liked the way the political science courses at Hartwick were structured to promote discussion and active participation. In Professor Elder’s Congress and Presidency class, for example, she took on the role of Senator Lindsey Graham. By following him in the news and watching video clips, she was able to embody Senator Graham in the classroom during mock congressional hearings, learning about the operations of Congress while also having fun.
