She began her time at Millikin enrolled in music classes and believed that music was what she wanted to pursue. "I felt like music was the only thing I was good at. I enjoyed it so much in high school that I wanted to continue it in college," Angela recounted.
Arnold's entire plan changed when she became involved at Millikin's Center for International Education (CIE). She joined several international student organizations soon after and immersed herself in her newfound passion.
"I really found my calling and I'm so grateful because it took me coming to college to realize that something like international business or international affairs even existed, and now I can't imagine doing anything else," Angela said, describing how Millikin encouraged her to pursue new interests.
Now a senior majoring in international business, Angela has become involved in an array of opportunities at Millikin to help shape her future. Through her internship with the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs in Washington, D.C., which led to a shadowing experience in the U.S. Embassy Seoul and the American Center in Korea, Angela has been able to grow and develop a variety of skills.
