<\/div><\/div>[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Hello! My name is Ruby Schwartz and I am so excited to be your Admission Counselor! I am a recent Eckerd graduate and am thrilled to be back on campus to help guide you through the admissions process. I am originally from Maryland, and am part of the approximately 80% of students who come from out of state to attend Eckerd College.<\/p>\n

During my time as a student at Eckerd College, I double majored in marine science<\/a> and anthropology<\/a>. The mentorship I received from professors within each field made it possible for me to major in two very different disciplines that I am passionate about while still graduating within four years. As a student, I was heavily involved in the Admission Office as a student ambassador. I was also an active leader of Eckerd College Hillel<\/a>, which is the Jewish student life organization on campus.<\/p>\n

While at Eckerd, I took advantage of our study abroad programs<\/a> by going abroad four times! I was able to visit Bimini in the Bahamas, Cuba, Thailand, and even went to Antarctica! Eckerd is ranked number one in the nation for short-term study abroad programs. I was also a part of the Johnston-Ford Apprentice Scholars<\/a> program, where I learned in-depth about the value of a liberal arts education and conducted summer research culminating in a marine science thesis.<\/p>\n

Outside of Eckerd, I am an avid reader and crafter! I can usually be found with a book or bead embroidery project nearby. I also love the beach, and sunny St. Petersburg is home to some amazing beaches.<\/p>\n

The opportunities afforded to me at Eckerd have transformed me into who I am today. Eckerd College truly is a college that changes lives<\/a>. Please reach out if you have any questions about Eckerd or the college admissions process, I am happy to work with you![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][image_with_animation image_url=”9569″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In From Bottom” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
