by: Jennifer Basch

Graduating in May as a corporate communication major and a Spanish minor, senior Kaitlyn Ober has enjoyed her years as a Lycoming College student.

From Lititz, PA, Ober has participated in many campus activities including Women’s basketball, which has played a major role in her life, playing all four years at Lycoming College.

On top of this, Ober has been a sports writer for the Lycourier. Not busy enough with school work, sports, and writing, Ober is an intermural supervisor, work for the on campus radio station, works for admissions, and was a Relay For Life captain.
On top of this, Ober was also a member of the Women’s Basketball team.

“My biggest accomplishment was being two time all MAC sport for four years in the conference for Women’s Basketball,” Ober said.

Before graduating, Ober must present her Corporate Communication Capstone, in a PDR. This event will be on Tuesday with the poster session from 4-5 p.m. and dinner starting at 5 p.m. Ober’s topic was job satisfaction in the workplace.

With graduation only a few weeks away, one of the things she will miss is her friends.

“I am going to miss them being right there,” she said.

When reflecting on her college years, she has also learned alot about herself.

“I have learned I want to take a successful path in life, what my strengths and weaknesses are, and how to be a better me,” she said.

Ober also has advice to the underclassmen.

“(Underclassmen should) embrace all opportunities,” she said. Ober made the decision to study abroad in Costa Rica last May for four weeks.

“It was all Spanish, but it only helped me in the end,” she said.

After graduation, Ober plans to live with her sister in New York City. She has applied at Penn State University for a position in the promotions department. She hopes to land a job in the promotions department for a sports team.
