Sara Eschleman is an Honors College junior majoring in English and minoring in Business Administration. On campus, Sara works as the opinions editor for The Daily Targum, Rutgers’ independent student newspaper, giving her the opportunity to express the views and perspectives of the Targum’s 155th editorial on topics relevant to the student body through weekly editorials. Serving as the opinions editor has inspired Sara to discuss and investigate important subjects, including gun violence, sexual violence, misogyny, racism, government legislation, LGBTQ+ rights, and events affecting the Rutgers student community. Research opportunities through the Gardner Fellowship will help her dive deeper into global issues that mean the most to her. In addition to this, Sara also has an interest in business and has participated in Rutgers Consulting Analyst Program in which she assisted a VPN company with their marketing strategy. Sara will also be interning at BASF, the world’s largest chemical producer, through their Professional Development Program, specifically focusing on market segmentation for their Commercial and Sales team. Post-graduation, Sara hopes to combine her passion for writing with her experience in the business world to either work for a publishing company or newsroom and possibly pursue a law degree. In her free time, Sara enjoys giving campus tours as an Honors College Ambassador, practicing olympic weightlifting with the Rutgers Weightlifting Club, reading cheesy romance novels and blasting music on long car rides with her friends.
