Ethan Stevenson (he\/him) is a senior from Apex, North Carolina who has buckets full of <\/span>ambition and charm. He is double-majoring in Economics and Political Science with a <\/span>concentration in finance. Speaking on where he hopes to take these academic endeavors, \u201cI <\/span>want to work in a finance occupation that isn’t draining or takes advantage of other people.\u201d <\/span>Next, we move to Ethan\u2019s exemplary service to our community\u2013 the President of RC Pride, <\/span>President of Omicron Delta Kappa, Treasurer of the Public Affairs Society, Treasurer of the <\/span>Board Game Club, Secretary and Treasurer of the Honors Program, and the RA on the 1st floor <\/span>of Maxey hall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethan gives a lot of his time to this campus\u2019 humans, but he also cherishes the other creatures <\/span>that call this campus home. \u201cMy favorite campus pet has to be the skunks that run around <\/span>outside of sections whenever I am doing my rounds!\u201d I can always tell that I have crossed a <\/span>skunk\u2019s path when I smell their ever-so-generous defense mechanism. They leave quite the<\/span>impact, to say the least.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you like dice? Well, come on down to give a go at \u201cRetirement!\u201d Ethan Stevenson is <\/span>making a board game for his honors distinction project, which is aimed at teaching personal <\/span>finance and retirement. This marvelous tabletop game is a dice-rolling and dice-placement <\/span>game that can play 3-7 players in 45-90 minutes. Over the course of 6 rounds, players will be <\/span>competing to have more money in their 401K, and whoever does, wins!<\/span><\/p>\n

Especially for our first years, finding the balance between school work, personal time, and a <\/span>Social life can be an ongoing challenge. Ethan hopes to shed some let on how he has <\/span>approached this task with the following. \u201cMy strategy for balancing a busy work life is focusing <\/span>on devoting just the right amount of time to things and then focusing on what’s urgent and <\/span>Important.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethan concluded the interview by saying \u201cI would like to thank Dr. Kassens, my distinction <\/span>project advisor, for providing me with so many opportunities, specifically with Econ Lab, and all <\/span>of the speakers she brings to campus. I would also like to thank my friends Adelle, Ainsley, Ben <\/span>C, Brenna, Emma, James, Julia, Lacey, Owen, and Sydney for being amazing, supportive, and<\/span><\/p>\n
