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 Natalie Rhodes, co-founder of NeW at Virginia Tech University.

What were some of your favorite events that you participated in with NeW?
I participated in meetings, along with many socials that we had over Zoom. These events helped me grow closer with the women and form lifelong connections. 

What are your plans after graduation?
I plan to attend law school.

What advice would you give to a conservative woman starting college?
Keep your head up, and do not let others dull your sparkle. Most importantly, stand strong and stand bold — your voice matters.

How has NeW impacted you and prepared you for your next steps?
NeW has helped me become the leader I once dreamed about being. NeW has also given me many lifelong friendships within the chapter.

Why is NeW important to you?
NeW is important to me because I was a co-founder, along with vice president, for my chapter at Virginia Tech. NeW has given me countless leadership opportunities and has helped shape me into the woman I am today.
