Jodi Wilkof

Jodi Wilkof, class of 1992, is a successful business owner of Green Party Events. The Company specializes in eco-friendly event planning and design. Wilkof and her company both call Tallahassee home. The personal attention she and her parents received during the admission process attracted her to Florida State University.

Once here, she made herself a home at FSU by participating in Student Government, becoming a Resident Assistant in the Honors dormitory, and the organization Literacy Volunteers. However, after graduating with a double major in Human Resource Management and Political Science, Wilkof attended law school at the University of Virginia.

Wilkof contributes part of her succee to her undergraduate education at FSU and involvement in the Honors Association. While here, she created lasting relationships with professors in her honors seminars who taught her "to think critically and question everything". Since then, she has had a plethora of opportunities that began in the classrooms of FSU. She says, "I have been fortunate to have had a number of amazing professional experiences since graduating from FSU - clerking at the Supreme Court of Florida to managing a political campaign to owning my own business."

If she could give one piece of advise to current Honors students, she says, "Don't get stuck on a particular career or career path; be open to possibilities you never dreamed possible. And pursue your passions."
