WHY YOU CHOSE ROOSEVELT:

The most affordable option, also it was in a city rather than a college town. Lots of ability for mobility.

History/Political Science Major, WGS Minor

WHY YOU CHOSE THIS MAJOR/MINOR:

I always enjoyed History and wanted to pursue it further in higher education. I found that History has very important connections to Political Science, so I recently added that major. I also feel strongly about my commitment to Women’s and Gender Studies.

I would like to be a political analyzer or work in historical research.

FAVORITE COURSE TAKEN AT ROOSEVELT AND WHY:

My favorite course at Roosevelt so far is The Politics of Sex, which is a WGS course. I found that the discussions were incredibly informative and really gave me inspiration for what I want to do in the future.

I have been learning Dutch for the past year! (I am preparing for study abroad at Tilburg University in the Netherlands.)

Fainman Lounge

My role model is Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg because she has remained committed and passionate about her work for long enough to have made a difference in history.
