I’m a Husky: Katie Behie
Bloomsburg
Posted
Katie Behie is a graduating business administration marketing major from Macungie.
In her years here at Bloomsburg University she has been involved greatly being a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha, the American Marketing Association, and an Orientation Workshop Leader (OWL).
“The biggest impression BU left on me is letting me be myself,� Behie says. “Joining ASA, OWLs, and being in AMA for a short time has really helped me grow myself. I became a person I never imagined, and I’m so thankful for that. Seeing my shy self in high school versus now I would have never imagined it. BU will forever hold a special place in my heart.�
With graduation getting closer, Behie says she is going to miss Bloomsburg greatly.
“What won’t I miss? This place has everything since the first time I walked on campus,� Behie says. “Coming for a tour junior year I knew this was my place and where I belonged. But most importantly, I’m going to miss the people; my dear friends I’ve made for a lifetime, my boss and faculty who have helped along the way. When I walk by the Quad and get that happy feeling. I’m going to miss my friends, the vibes, and the ups and downs this school has given me.�
Although leaving she is ready for the next step.
“When I walk across that stage there will be happy and sad tears,� Behie says. “Sad tears that my people will not right down the street or down the hall but instead a phone call away. Happy tears of starting my new job in a new town but still having Bloomsburg friends with me.�
She adds, “The ZIPD program through the Career Intensive Boot Camp and the yearly ZIPD event. The alumni I’ve met through networking events have really helped (ATTEND THEM I PROMISE THEY HELP). Also thank you to Mary Howe for continuing the ZIPD Program to really help me get to where I am today.�
