Without a doubt, anything to do with the Economics Department – the professors, students, and discussions! This semester, Development Economics with Professor Matt Warning has stood out to me the most. The course content paired with our instructor's genuine interest in the subject has taught me to think critically of the world around me and draw links to other topics in my programs of study. It also motivated me to declare a minor in Global Development Studies!
In the early mornings, I study anywhere in Thompson after stopping at Oppenheimer; in the afternoons at Diversions; and in the evenings at Collins Memorial Library.
Walking next to the waterfront, grabbing a latte at Olympia Coffee, and seeing a concert at Alma Mater!
Puget Sound has taught me how to diligently connect and consider communities in my learning. Before Puget Sound, I was involved in community-based development and service organizations but rarely brought these experiences into the classroom. Now, whether in Tools in Environmental Science or Introduction to African American Studies, I am able to explore and understand issues and events to a greater extent through fieldwork and outreach activities.
I love to play "U.S. National Park" on clear days when Mount Rainier can be spotted from campus.
