Name: Rosemary Ashby
Major: Experience Design and Management
Graduation: December 2024

Hi, I'm Rosemary! I'm from Virginia; some of my hobbies include baking/cooking, art, being outside, swimming, reading, and throwing parties. I am a senior studying Experience Design & Management and plan to graduate this December! With this being my last semester, I'm in the thick of finishing my thesis and hope to defend in a few weeks. I've been studying the effect of different components of a major on students' feelings of belonging, specifically in the Marriott Business School. I am passionate about making sure everyone feels included and hope that my research will enable faculty/staff to provide opportunities that will increase students' sense of belonging within their majors. After graduation, my husband and I are going to travel Europe for a few months (my parents and siblings moved to Italy last summer), which is something that I am really looking forward to. I love the Honors program and am so grateful for the opportunity that I have had to be a part of it! Follow along with Rosemary on Instagram today and learn more about her research!
