Faces of Leeds Snapshot
Name: Connor Van Kirk
Hometown: Arlington, Virginia
Major:听Master of Business Administration
Most excited about at Leeds: The community
Over the summer, the Van Kirk family reunion had more than 50 attendees, so Connor Van Kirk felt right at home 鈥渟urrounding himself with a really diverse cohort鈥� at Leeds. Two weeks of solo travel in Europe over the summer pushed him out of his comfort zone, which he found rewarding.听A highlight was paragliding in Interlaken, Switzerland.听
鈥淭his year I鈥檓 really focused on being intentional and getting the most out of this experience. I want to be active in student clubs, show up to professors鈥� office hours, and build some hard skills with Excel and data analysis.鈥�
