Senior Madison Alford from Manassas, Va. called Longwood home after transferring from East Carolina University as a sophomore. Alford is a member of Longwood Company of Dancers and has danced for 19 years. Alford is also the membership chair of Global Leaders and vice president of membership for Alpha Phi Omega. While Alford is torn between two career paths, she is confident about her passion to help people.
“I always knew I wanted to help people but didn’t know what avenue I wanted to go down,” said Alford.
After changing her major six times, she is now a Communication Science and Disorders major. Alford is considering a career in international education or becoming a speech language pathologist.
“Always follow your passions; even if you’re majoring in something it doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be your career,” said Alford.
