On Saturday afternoon, Ashley-Ann Davis will offer some words of wisdom to her fellow graduating seniors at the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla. She’s one of just four S&T students scheduled to speak at the university’s in-person commencement ceremonies. But when it comes to giving life advice, 22-year-old Davis hasn’t just written a speech she’s also got a small book to her name: “Partying With a 4.0: Finding Balance in College.”
Davis, who is completing her bachelor s degree in engineering management this week, published the volume last summer. In it, she offers concrete suggestions for how to make the most of one’s undergraduate experience, making the case that it’s possible to find academic success while also making sufficient time for other activities and sheer enjoyment.
While pursuing her bachelor's degree in engineering management at Missouri S&T, Ashley-Ann Davis penned “Partying With a 4.0: Finding Balance in College,” publishing the slim volume last summer.

As she prepares to graduate from Missouri University of Science and Technology this May, Ashley-Ann Davis has some important advice for next fall’s college freshmen.
“Figure out what’s important to you, and once you figure that out, prioritize it,” says Davis, of Jefferson City, Missouri. “Once you prioritize what matters, you can focus more easily.”
But setting priorities doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Davis, who was born in Jamaica and will graduate in May with a bachelor of science degree in engineering management, has managed to excel as a student while having a good time along the way. And she wrote a book with a title that says it all: Partying With a 4.0: Finding Balance in College.
