Part of the Wesleyan experience is the opportunity to do research as an undergraduate in the labs of Wesleyan faculty. Biology and neuroscience double major Andrea Felix ‘21 knew that she needed to developed research skills as an undergraduate to prepare for a career in Wesleyan gave her the tools to help her land a job as a Laboratory Technician.
“I wanted to start conducting research on my first day. Dr. Holly Cole (assistant professor of psychology) welcomed me into her lab with open arms and I worked with her all four years.”
“ Working with a professor in her lab allowed each student to grow into better teammates and improve skills like communication, finding previous research, and ideation. I used these skills in other classes, too. I learned to take the lead and instruct others on making valuable contributions to a team.”

The Wesleyan College Creating Equal Opportunities (CEO)
Leadership Institute provides a transformational experience to a cohort of young women looking to develop their skills as leaders. This group gains an advantage by enhancing their education through exclusive learning opportunities and Wesleyan’s unique mentorship program.
My experience in the CEO institute has undeniably contributed to my personal and professional growth in several ways.
I’ve learned to embrace challenges and setbacks as opportunities for learning and improvement rather than as failures. This shift in perspective has made me more resilient and open to taking calculated risks in my leadership journey. The emphasis on global citizenship has expanded my horizons and instilled a broader perspective on the world.
This newfound global perspective has translated into a more inclusive and empathetic approach to leadership, which I believe is crucial in today’s world.
The networking opportunities provided by the CEO institute have allowed me to connect with like-minded individuals and m entors who have offered valuable insights and support.
I aspire to apply my newfound global perspective and innovative mindset to tackle real-world challenges. Ultimately, I hope to lead with purpose, making a positive impact.”
– ALIZA RATNANI CLASS OF 2027 | PRE-NURSING
Through the program, I was able to connect with my peers at Wesleyan College, the faculty, and the wider community around me.
The skills I gained have been instrumental in my personal and academic growth during my sophomore year.
The program’s faculty and peer mentors have been a tremendous asset to me. They challenged me to confront my personal biases and encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone to grow as a leader.
The CEO Institute has opened many doors for me. I was fortunate enough to be selected to participate in the Unum Accelerated Academy, an opportunity that I would not have had without the program. I am incredibly grateful for the experiences and opportunities that the program has provided me, and I am eager to see what lies ahead in the future.”

CEO INSTITUTE
The Wesleyan College Creating Equal Opportunity (CEO) Leadership Institute gets you:
Access to Wesleyan’s exclusive 4:1 mentorship model
A distinction upon graduation
Opportunities to attend select leadership trips and retreats
A second internship opportunity on top of Wesleyan’s internship guarantee
A competitive advantage for your resume as you begin your career
Internships help students get ready for any job, whether it’s in a company, nonprofit or other organization. Research shows that students who complete internships have better skills when they start working. At Wesleyan, the Center for Career Development helps students improve their resumes, practice interview skills and find internships locally, in Atlanta, and across the country.
I think a huge part of the reason I got hired was because of my experience at Wesleyan. Employers were impressed with the fact that I was able to do research and present at conferences. They were impressed by my experience in data analytics and public speaking. I’ve done internships where the opportunity was opened because of Wesleyan, because of my advisor specifically. The experiential learning that happens at Wesleyan prepared me to lead.”

MONICA MOHANTY
CLASS OF 2018 | MERCER UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Earning her degree in biology with a minor in studio art, Monica credits Wesleyan’s liberal arts curriculum with allowing her to combine this unique set of interests. “I found that working with clay and 3D sculpting tools made me better at using a scalpel during dissections in the biology lab. These transferable skills have influenced the way I hold my hand and the way I apply pressure.”
Monica served on SGA all four years and as president her senior year, brought attention to the national “All In” campaign to ensure women’s voices are represented in politics, and organized “I Stand With Immigrants” to support the plight of students who are undocumented immigrants (DREAMERS).
An internship during her junior year ignited her desire to practice in rural and under- served communities in the areas of obstetrics and gynecology. Monica has since been accepted into the Mercer School of Medicine where she is studying and working to become a physician.
CHARLINE VAN DER BEEK
CLASS OF 2015 FROM ATTACHÉ TO GLOBAL DIGITAL ENGINEERING

Before earning her master’s degree in European public affairs from Maastricht University, Netherlands, Charline was a four-year member of the equestrian team at Wesleyan and graduated magna cum laude with a double major in economics and political science. She credits the Center for Career Development for helping her start her career. “My online portfolio was actually the reason I was chosen for the internship with the European Union, the internship that led me to find the job I have now.”
