Hi, everyone! My name is Camille DeWilde, and I am a senior Communication Studies major with a double minor in General Music – Piano Emphasis and the Honors Program. I\u2019m from Tucson, Arizona, and my post-grad plans are to attend law school and hopefully work in entertainment law, where I can combine my love of never-ending learning with my passion for the arts! As a member of the School of Communication Student Advisory Board, among my many other involvements, I love contributing to positive change in various Chapman communities! I enjoy meeting and connecting with so many exceptional current and prospective Chapman students, as well as staff, faculty, and families!<\/span><\/p>\n

Going back to my senior year of high school, I had a lot of decisions to make. The whos, whats, whens, and wheres of picking a university and a major were incredibly overwhelming, and I remember a lot of days where that stress felt like too much to bear. However, the second I stepped foot on Chapman campus, so many of my fears were alleviated. No longer did I feel like I wouldn\u2019t find a campus that felt like home. I fell in love with Chapman\u2019s personalized academic experience, emphasis on individual thought and exploration, and the way every student has a different and incredibly personal answer when you ask them, \u201cSo, why Chapman?\u201d I owe so much to Chapman for encouraging me to grow into who I am today, and so much of that is also owed to the School of Communication.<\/span><\/p>\n

My \u201cWhy Chapman\u201d story feels pretty straightforward, but my answer to \u201cWhy Communication\u201d is a little more complex. Coming into Chapman, I knew I wanted to go to law school after getting my undergraduate degree, but the options for my major felt limitless, and I was nervous about what to choose. Knowing how much I value and appreciate human connection and considering how important persuasion was for my future, Communication felt like an easy pick! My two greatest values in life are learning and human connection, and if you feel the same, Communication is absolutely the place for you, in my opinion!<\/span><\/p>\n

There is so much more Chapman campus has to offer in terms of involvement, but outside the School of Comm Student Advisory Board, I am a member of many wonderful Chapman communities! I am, firstly, a member of both social and professional Greek Life on campus. I am the President of Kappa Alpha Pi, the Pew-Law Co-ed Fraternity o<\/span>n campus, and also the Director of First Year Experience for Tri Delta Sorority! Furthermore, I am involved with Camp Kesem, Chapman Radio, The Provost Student Advisory Board, Lambda Pi Eta, and Mortar Board honors societies, and I work two on-campus jobs! There are so many fantastic resources and communities offered by Chapman, and I am lucky to call Chapman my home, where I am surrounded by so much love and support!<\/p>\n

When not busy with my on-campus involvements, I love finding new coffee shops, thrifting,\u00a0 going to Disneyland, baking, watching movies, and spending time with my friends!<\/span><\/p>\n
