Grace Mueller is getting ready for her future in writing through an internship here in Valley City. Mueller is excited to work on projects and learn skills that she can take with her on her next journey after graduation.

Hometown: Wimbledon, N.D.
Year: Senior
Major/Minor: English with a music minor
Activities on campus: President of English Club, President of Spanish Club, Student Senate CALLS representative, NSLS, Viking Voyage mentor, Social Justice Council, Young Democrats, and Sigma Tau Delta.

About Grace’s spring internship: 

I will be working alongside VCSU alumni, Emma Tufte, at City County Health to learn about and begin grant writing. A few different projects I’ll tackle include, evaluating technical writing and rewriting in plain language to share with the public (particularly for City County Health’s website and programming) as well as contributing to a huge grant writing project for the School of Nutrition.

Future plans after graduation: 

After graduation, I hope to use my grant writing abilities and other special skills from VCSU to continue grant writing for non-profits in Billings, Montana.

How has your minor helped you? 

My music minor has helped me grow especially in soft skills such as creative processing, public speaking, and performance. As well as building a work ethic to engage with topics which I had little to no prior knowledge.

What has been your favorite memory from VCSU? 

Many of my favorite memories at VCSU I’m lucky to have experienced recurrently, such as playing in music practices and concerts, enjoying events put on by various VCSU organizations, and learning with (and often joking with) my faculty, staff, and peers.
