Senior Spotlight: Mattie Hooker, NeW at the University of Mississippi

Congratulations to our graduating seniors and thank you for your work with NeW! We are pleased to spotlight some of our outstanding chapter leaders and members.

Meet Mattie Hooker, treasurer of NeW at the University of Mississippi.

What were some of your favorite events that you participated in with NeW?
I loved the NeW Leadership Retreat in Chattanooga, Tennessee this year because I learned so much while also getting to make so many new friends that have the same values as me. I loved being the treasurer of my campus’s NeW chapter because I got to help lead the organization while also developing skills that will help me prepare for life after graduation.

What are your plans after graduation?
I will hopefully be attending grad school at Ole Miss to get my master’s of accountancy and also preparing to take the CPA exam.

What advice would you give to a conservative woman starting college?
The advice that I would give to a conservative woman starting college is to always stay true to yourself and what you believe in no matter what the world around you is saying!

How has NeW impacted you and prepared you for your next steps?
NeW has impacted me greatly and helped me develop in leadership roles, brought me great friends that are a wonderful support system, and provided me with resources to succeed after college. NeW has definitely prepared me with resources that will benefit me way past my college years.

Why is NeW important to you?
NeW is important to me because it is a place that women who have conservative beliefs can come together and learn from each other in a judgment-free zone. We all have similar values, but we can also respect each other’s differences and opinions and learn from each other while doing so! NeW equips us with resources to educate ourselves and to be the best that we can possibly be.

The Network of enlightened Women (NeW) provides premier opportunities for young conservative women like Mattie. Learn how to bring a NeW chapter to your campus today!
