Emma Korstanje
Exercise Science , 2026
Coming from the College of Science is Huntington native, Emma Korstanje. As an exercise science major, Emma’s favorite class is Exercise Physiology because it’s challenging and interesting to learn about how the body reacts to exercise. She has a strong sense of smell, which is probably why she loves baking. Emma wants to become a realtor and a physical therapist, but for now she is a Feature Twirler who loves performing on the field on game day. “Get as involved as you can! Many students quit their hobbies or clubs when they get to college because they want to focus on their academics, but they miss out on making connections with other students and the school,” is what Emma would tell the incoming Herd.
