Making the most of your college experience requires you to step outside of your comfort zone and open your mind to the various possibilities you may have never thought possible. In this week’s episode of Our 4th Annual Divine 9 Series, we are joined by Kennedy McIntosh, Upsilon Chapter Initiate of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. In an effort to be closer to her family during COVID, she left the initial college she committed to, so she could complete a dual enrollment program at the University of Southern California (USC). In addition to completing both her Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science and her Master’s degree in Studies in Law, she discovered she had another interest in becoming a Chief Pilot. As a result, she recently completed her pilot training at the U.S. Aviation Academy in Denton, Texas. Find out how she used her college experience to explore all of her interests and how her Greek organization has helped her stay emotionally grounded during this election season. Kennedy completed both her Master of Studies in Law with an emphasis in Business, and her Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science/Engineering at USC. She served as a teaching assistant, Resident Assistant, Gibraltar Intern, and Environmental Science/Engineering Intern at Northrop Grumman. In addition to completing her pilot training through the Southwest Destination 225 Cadet Program, she also plans to explore Senior Executive roles within various sectors of the aviation industry. To support this vision, she is actively involved in organizations such as Women in Aviation and the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals.
