Faces in the GFCB: Commencement Edition

Leslie Jones is a strategic marketing major from White House, Tenn., who enjoys finding solutions to problems and thinking outside the box in order to gain those answers, which is why she enjoys her major so much. She is currently seeking a full-time position in the Nashville area in market consulting and/or brand coordination.

During her time in the GFCB, she completed multiple internships with the most recent being with Skye Studios Media.

“I learned that creative boundaries can always be pushed. With hard work, there is truly nothing that you cannot accomplish,” she said. “I was surrounded by such brilliant minds that encouraged me to be my best. I managed to complete more than I ever thought I could upon finishing my time there.”

While she looks forward to the challenges of the business world, she is grateful for her time at WKU.

“WKU brought me a college environment I never knew I needed, and for that, I am grateful.”

Almost 150 students will participate in Commencement exercises this Saturday, December 14 at 8 am in E.A. Diddle Arena. Can't make it to campus? Watch live on WKU's Facebook page or on WKYU-PBS television.
