Caroline Natwick ’26 majored in neuroscience and minored in entrepreneurship at W&L. This fall, she will begin her Doctor of Physical Therapy program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
“Studying the liberal arts has opened my eyes to many new perspectives and leaves me with a strong toolkit of skills I can take into any setting. Despite being a science major, I took courses in the Williams School, took additional Spanish courses and studied abroad in Spain, loved a philosophy class I took senior year and took a history class I really enjoyed. Taking a wide range of classes allowed me to collaborate with people with a variety of interests and engage in rich conversations. It’s a gift we have so readily available, and it has equipped me to take on a new angle, learn a new skill with confidence and collaborate with other professionals down the road.”

We ❤️💛 Mia!
“The Shepherd Program has allowed me to volunteer at so many locations. As part of my POV 102 class with Professor Jenny Davidson, I was able to help out in a third-grade classroom at Enderly Heights Elementary. This made me further realize how important it is for children to grow up with a solid education. Related to this, at Campus Kitchen, we have a backpack program for the local schools where we provide little bags of snacks for the children. Packing, distributing and then seeing these backpacks in classrooms has been an amazing, full-circle moment. Further, W&L has truly helped cultivate my love for music through University Singers. Being able to create a community with such a talented group of people has really allowed me to understand the importance of the arts for communication and connection.”
