Hometown: Arlington, Virginia
MajorMaster of Business Administration
Most excited about at Leeds: The community

Over the summer, the Van Kirk family reunion had more than 50 attendees, so Connor Van Kirk felt right at home “surrounding himself with a really diverse cohort” at Leeds. Two weeks of solo travel in Europe over the summer pushed him out of his comfort zone, which he found rewarding. A highlight was paragliding in Interlaken, Switzerland.


“This year I’m really focused on being intentional and getting the most out of this experience. I want to be active in student clubs, show up to professors’ office hours, and build some hard skills with Excel and data analysis.”
