2025-2026 Knowlton Ambassador

Meet Jaxx! Jaxx is majoring in Landscape Architecture, and is also a part of MUNDO!

Jaxx answered a few questions for us about being a student at Knowlton.

What do you enjoy most about being a Knowlton student?

My favorite part about Knowlton is how involved and passionate the professors are. In just the last two years, I’ve learned so much about my prospective field and really enjoyed doing so. It is a great place to study any of the three majors offered there.

What do you wish you had been told as a high school student? What advice would you give?

Investigate what career paths your major leads to, and talk to professionals in that field. Often, folks are happy to have a informational interview with a curious high schooler.
