How Lanasia Melvins is Making the Most of Her First Year as a Marketing Major

Lanasia stands outside the Rohrer College of Business building.

Meet Lanasia Melvins, a first-year student in the Marketing program within the Rohrer College of Business. Lanasia is an on-campus resident from Camden County, NJ. 

Could you share a few on-campus activities, clubs, sports or events that you’ve attended so far? What was your favorite, and why?

I’ve attended Meet the Greeks, Rohrer Fest, and a few more things. My favorite was Meet the Greeks just because the energy in the room was positive, and I enjoyed seeing everyone perform.

What are some ways you’ve made friends this year?

I’ve made friends by speaking to people first and meeting people through [those] I’ve already met.

What is one thing about Rowan itself that you liked that encouraged you to enroll?

I liked how fast with responding, very professional and truly seems like they want us to succeed.

Any advice for high school seniors about choosing a school?

Make sure the school is right for you. Don’t choose a school simply to follow your friends. Make sure you at least take a tour of the school before you decide to go there. Also make sure there’s a lot of opportunities for your major.
