This month we’re checking in with one of our most recent graduates, Hannah Waroway ’21.
Originally from Ann Arbor, MI, Hannah graduated Midway University in May with a Bachelor’s in Equine Management and Rehabilitation paired with a minor in Business. Following graduation, she relocated to Frenchtown, NJ and is the barn manager at Market Street Inc – the farm of former Olympian Anne Kursinski.
WHY I CHOSE MIDWAYU: I loved the small, individualized nature that Midway provides. I also chose Midway because of the opportunity to network within the equine industry and really get my foot in the door to make headway on the career I always wanted.
FAVORITE MIDWAYU EXPERIENCE OR MEMORY: Being able to participate and lead Midway’s Hunt Seat team was by far the best experience. I met so many people, learned many valuable skills and made countless lasting memories.
WHAT MIDWAYU MEANS TO ME: Midway means the world to me. It provided me the foothold I needed to kickstart my career in the equine industry as well as providing me valuable friendships and networking opportunities.
SKILLS LEARNED AT MIDWAYU: Too many to list! I learned leadership, humility, tenacity, and practical things like time management, professional etiquette in terms of presenting myself as a candidate for a job opportunity, etc.
ADVICE FOR FUTURE EAGLES: Make sure you get involved. I know as an introvert how easy it is to opt to stay in the comfort of your dorm/apartment, but I promise you that some of the relationships you make at Midway will last a lifetime. And don’t be afraid to ask your professors for help—they love to help their students and want nothing but the best for you!
HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Photography, running, and all things horses
INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU: I want to go to all 63 of the national parks in the U.S.!
