Eager to leave her home state of Pennsylvania for college, Melissa Remmey came to Wake Forest for many of the reasons we all have — it’s a small, academically prestigious university with a strong reputation that competes in what is arguably the strongest conference in division I college sports.
“I wanted to get out of Pennsylvania and try something different,” she said. “I was attracted by the fact that it was an academically prestigious school but that it had big-time sports and competed in the ACC.”
Remmey also knew she wanted to study government and politics during her college years, based on an interest she’s had for years.
