University of Limerick Alumni Spotlight: Kelli Maxwell

What advice would you offer to students considering studying at UL?

UL has so many amazing things so make sure you're well informed on all they have to offer students.

Some of my favourites were the market in the courtyard where local food vendors would come in, free concerts put on by the music and dance schools, and the sports centre.

Separately, what advice would you offer to students considering studying your course?

For students considering IMGB, I think it's important to know that you can do a number of different careers with the degree.

From my class alone, we had students that went on into supply chain, recruiting, tax, marketing, advisory, project management, etc.

It's a really broad degree and you can tailor it to your interest areas.

Were you a member of any clubs or societies?

I was a member of the International Society during my time at UL. As an international student myself, it was wonderful to be a part of a community of students who could relate to everything I was going through. It was also a great way to meet new friends!

What are some of your favourite memories from your time at UL?

One memory that sticks out is Storm Emma in March 2018. All of UL was covered in snow and classes were cancelled.

Some friends and I built a massive snowman who we lovingly named David after their roommate. Later that day a group of students organised a snowball fight outside the library.

It was so peaceful to see campus covered in snow and it reminded me of home as western Pennsylvania always gets a lot of snow.

Other memories include numerous Friday nights spent at the Stables with friends, Saturdays going into Limerick City centre for the Milk Market, and weekend trips around Ireland.
