What Are You Doing After Graduation?
by Sarah Lynch


Sarah N. Lynch
Barnard College of Columbia University

Majors: English with a concentration in writing and Spanish Language and Literature

How do you feel about graduating? I will certainly miss all of my friends and many of the wonderful teachers I had at Barnard, including Agueda Rayo, my Spanish thesis advisor, and Anne Prescott in the English department. I will also miss being a student. I am excited, however, to begin a new chapter in my life.

Future Plans: I just got a job working as a general assignment reporter for the Jersey Journal in Hudson County, NJ, where I will be covering Secaucus and Hoboken. I am looking forward to developing my skills as a journalist and a writer. In the distant future I hope to attain a Masters in print journalism (newspaper) and potentially a Masters in international affairs with a concentration in Latin America.


Erika Flores
Barnard College of Columbia University

Major/Minor: Urban Studies with a concentration in Political Science (major)/Latin American Studies (minor)

How do you feel about graduating?: “While graduation is a sad moment because the friends you made wonderful memories with all go their separate ways, graduation signifies a new beginning. I look forward to the new memories my college friends and I will make as we sail through the difficult waters of adulthood and hope to enjoy my time off from lectures, papers, and tests.”

Future Plans: I look forward to working at a fulltime job at the Grace Institute for a few years before I enroll in law school.


Natalia T. Chan
Barnard College of Columbia University

Major/minors: English (major)/Psychology (minor)

How do you feel about graduating? I’m definitely going to miss being in such an exciting, intellectual college environment, but I’m looking forward to beginning the next stage of my life as a working girl.

Future Plans: I will be working as a corporate legal assistant at a Manhattan law firm and I anticipate attending law school in the near future.


Hilary Mitchell

Major: Spanish language and literature

How do you feel about graduating?: I feel great! I’m excited to have finished, and am looking forward to a lot of exciting changes and opportunities.

Future Plans: Working as a financial advisor for Amex, continuing my studies in Spanish, developing my photography skills even more, printing and publishing my photographs and my artwork, keep working on cars, continuing with ballet classes and teaching ballet, going to the gym...
