Thank you so much to alums Barbara Bell '18 and Kyra DeVoe '23, who came to campus last week to talk to current English students about what they are doing now, and how studying English at Bucknell helped them get there.

Barbara, who majored in Literary Studies, Political Science and Spanish, is an account director at Anomaly, an advertising agency based in New York City, where she has managed brands such as the NBA, Jose Cuervo, and Fossil. Kyra, who majored in International Relations and minored in Creative Writing, works as an assistant publicist at HarperCollins Publishing.

Barbara and Kyra talked about the critical and creative thinking skills that they learned in their English classes as well as how important learning to write well has been to their careers. It is wonderful to see our alums are doing great things and to know that we helped prepare them for post-Bucknell success!

Thank you to English faculty member Joe Scapellato for organizing the event, and the Center for Career Advancement for helping us bring Barbara and Kyra back to campus.
