Hi! I’m Grace Driscoll, a rising junior at Temple University, double-majoring in Communications and Advertising at the Klein College of Media and Communication. After coming into Temple undecided, I quickly learned how special Klein was, ultimately leading me to declare my major at the end of my freshman year. My journey through the world of media has been all about growth with stepping out of my comfort zone, seizing new opportunities, and building a career grounded in purpose. 

As someone who’s passionate about climate advocacy, discovering CSR during a communication seminar at Klein changed everything for me. I dove into comparative research between the U.S. and Ireland and was struck by Ireland’s advanced approach to social responsibility. Now, I’m eager to see those practices up close.

Back in 2022, I had the chance to travel across Ireland’s southern coast on a family trip. That experience sparked in me a connection, not just to the culture and beauty of the country, but to the values it holds. My family has always made it a priority for my siblings and me to feel connected to our Irish roots, with my dad owning an Irish bar here in Philadelphia. So if you catch me knowing all the lyrics to Irish songs, don’t be confused lol. Fast forward to today, I’m excited to return with this new lens of CSR in one of the best countries to do so. 

When I’m not studying, you can find me watching movies, going to concerts, or finding coffee shops to read and write in. Last March, I went to Inhaler’s concert at the Met (Bono’s son is the lead singer). I also love photography and content creation, especially when it lets me tell meaningful stories or capture everyday moments in unique ways. Additionally, I work as an alumni affairs intern at Temple’s Beasley School of Law. There, I help plan alumni events and distribute content for solicitations for the law school. 

I am particularly excited to hear some live Irish music and to have some pints of Guinness! Sláinte!
