Emily Howard
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The George Washington University
My favorite motto
“To be, rather than to seem.” It reminds me to move through the world authentically (and it’s the motto of my home state, North Carolina).
Something people might not know about me
I’m a trivia nut. I play in a few in-person and virtual leagues, and recently was runner-up in a city-wide competition.
The qualities that make me “unconventional”
Humor! Research shows laughing in the workplace ups engagement, creativity, and productivity. I like to work hard and have fun doing it.
My most significant role model
My grandparents, who instilled an ethos of service, education, civic responsibility, and humanism in my family.
Favorite part of working at Eagle Hill
Learning from and with smart, kind, resilient colleagues.
One word my colleagues use to describe me
Collaborative! In my role, I get to partner with Eagle Hillers at all levels. I learn something new every day!
