Political science major Caroline Watson once hesitated to major in political science, settling on communication sciences and disorders as her major at first. But now she’s at the epicenter of politics, advocating for Louisianans as an intern for U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy.

From impersonating George Washington in a mock Constitutional Convention to chairing the SGA appropriations committee, Caroline’s Southeastern experiences fuel her desire to pursue law school and become a criminal prosecutor.
