Spelman Spotlight EXCITING PEOPLE Michelle Matthews: November 3,1980 Michelle Matthews “In the midst of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.” William Campbell “It’s true I scored above the average black individual... but I don’t think it was good enough for me.” "A man often pays dear for a small frugality."

A Spelman Woman By LaRonda Morris Feature Editor “Although no man is an island in him self we each must rely on our own inner strength as the driving force for all that we do and achieve.” Michelle Lynn Mat thew’s philosophy on life stems from one of her favorite quotes, “In the midst of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.” Michelle is a 20 year old junior from Washington, D.C. As an economics major Michelle has made the honor roll since her entry as a freshman with an average above 3.5 each semester. She is currently the President of the Economics Club, tutor for students needing help in economics, active in class activities and a member of the D.C. Metro Club. Michelle’s ambitions for the future are to acquire a Ph. D. in economics with a concentration in finance. She also has an interest in International Finance. The schools Michelle would like to attend af ter leaving Spelman are the top three: Yale University, Harvard University and Stanford University. As an economics major Michelle feels that this field is on the uprise for women. There are a limited amount of women in this field with a Ph.D. and the op portunities for advancement are numerous. Michelle believes a better un derstanding of economics benefits her and in turn could help the black race as a whole. “As far as benefiting myself, being in the field of economics keeps me abreast of current events because economics is a central issue in the| political areana today,” she says. Blacks on a whole need to be more aware of the mechanics of the economic system in or der to make intelligent decisions on issues which affect their lifestyle and well being.” When asked what has been the most beneficial factor thus far in preparing for a career in economics, Michelle respon ded, “This summer I had the opportunity to participate in a program at Yale University which gave me some insight as to what an actual graduate school program entails. The program made me aware of my strong points as well as my weak points in my economic studies. As a result cf this program it inspired me to excel in the direction of a Ph.D., also it revealed to me the need of a forceful background in math.” The curriculum of the program was four semester courses in economic related topics lasting for eight weeks. At the end of the program Michelle scored one A and three B’s. The advice Michelle gives to other female students wishing to advance in economics is to have a very strong math background. Michelle says, Tor women, there is a need to be more aggressive for setting their goals and the need to have the confidence to pioneer in areas that have been previously predominated by men. A thorough knowledge of the economic theory is needed, also a co-op or internship during undergrad would be helpful.” TURN $75 A MONTH INTO $20,100 FOR COLLEGE Pc Mo. 3 'is.
