Alejandro Orellana
Graduation: 2013
Major: New Media Studies and Business Administration

Pennsylvania junior Alejandro Orellana’s education at Alma College has been a lesson in expecting the unexpected.

Though he has known he should major in business since eighth grade, not until this year did he decide to add a new media studies major to the mix. He says his newfound interest in graphic design and technology will be useful for a career in advertising.
