href=\"\/academics\/creative-writing\/\">Creative Writing major<\/a>, but then decided that English would be a better fit as she could combine her love of writing with reading and analyzing literature. She enjoyed many of her English courses, but found her capstone project to be especially foundational: \u201cI did an internship with local independent publisher <a href=\"https:\/\/ashlandcreekpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ashland Creek Press<\/a> late 2021\u2013early 2022, and that allowed me to dip my toes into the publishing industry in a very real way. To Rachel, the English program was all about communication. Throughout her writing assignments and in class discussions, she worked hard to express thoughts clearly and precisely. Many aspects of the English major, including this communication, showed Rachel that English is \u201cone of the most versatile majors out there, because just about every industry needs people who know how to write and have good communication skills.\u201d Rachel applies her English background to her Belonging and Engagement position every day, while giving back to the SOU community.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ls0ni1bf-1c26ca5009a25098576df3a7a7c46d48\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ls0ni1bf-1c26ca5009a25098576df3a7a7c46d48 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ls0ni1bf-1c26ca5009a25098576df3a7a7c46d48 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em>\u201cI knew that majoring in English wouldn&#8217;t limit me, and would help me build <span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">skills and qualities that would serve me in any career\u2014and not just in my career, but in my life.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2013 Rachel Harris<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ls0om88f-e4c21853ed204767d24a7ce68d88d987\">\n.avia-image-container.av-ls0om88f-e4c21853ed204767d24a7ce68d88d987 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ls0om88f-e4c21853ed204767d24a7ce68d88d987 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ls0om88f-e4c21853ed204767d24a7ce68d88d987 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/01\/Rona-Stublefield-2023-SOU-Graduate.webp 520w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/01\/Rona-Stublefield-2023-SOU-Graduate-231x300.webp 231w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/01\/Rona-Stublefield-2023-SOU-Graduate.jpg\" height=\"675\" width=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/01\/Rona-Stublefield-2023-SOU-Graduate.jpg 520w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/01\/Rona-Stublefield-2023-SOU-Graduate-231x300.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" class=\"wp-image-85978 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-85978 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Rona Stublefield 2023 SOU Graduate Taking a picture\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ls0nrgae-3d5d255df3745644b33b21fd8dbe6fed\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ls0nrgae-3d5d255df3745644b33b21fd8dbe6fed .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ls0nrgae-3d5d255df3745644b33b21fd8dbe6fed '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured Above: Rona Stublefield, 2023 graduate<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ls0nlz5y-60756252a9d4911265998e37775421bd\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ls0nlz5y-60756252a9d4911265998e37775421bd .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ls0nlz5y-60756252a9d4911265998e37775421bd '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Rona Stublefield realized the versatility of the English major after taking <a href=\"\/academics\/honoring-dr-edwin-battistella\/\">Dr. Edwin Battistella\u2019s<\/a> Technical Writing class.
