Claire Kelly

I graduated Magna Cum Laude in Spring 2014 with a B.A. in Literature. I also minored in Philosophy and participated in the Teaching and Honors programs for most of my time at Ramapo. Soon after graduation, I was hired to teach middle school Language Arts and that is what I have been doing ever since. In addition to learning a lot and saving money, I am currently preparing to apply to several graduate school programs for the Fall 2016 semester. I hope to be accepted into a Masters program where I can focus my future studies on language, rhetoric, and composition. I never would have even known I had an interest in these areas had it not been for a handful of influential professors and courses at Ramapo. For this reason and more, I am grateful for the texts, thinkers, and experiences that this school and its Literature program exposed me to during my undergraduate years here.
