A typical resume from a soon-to-graduate political science major might include a well-connected internship or two. And indeed Nate Chung’s resume starts with an impressive stint in Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s office (D-NH), but then it veers, rollercoaster style, from busking on the streets of Boston to recording his own album this spring.
Recruited to the College of the Holy Cross to play lacrosse, Chung ’18 took full advantage of the liberal arts curriculum, embracing the idea that he could dabble and dive deep in things that interested him. Along the way, he leveraged mentorships on campus and funding opportunities that made his dreams tangible.
“I have friends at Holy Cross who hear what I’m up to and the response is a genuine, jaw-dropping ‘You can do that?'”
Chung is proof positive you can combine business and the arts, pragmatism and passion to create the college experience that really sings — even if it has nothing to do with music.
