How has your Individualized Major through the Liberal Studies Program prepared you for the next stage(s) of your life? 

My individualized major of Global Communication not only has given me agency in my future career path, but has allowed me to build a foundation of advocacy and social justice into my studies. I have had endless professional and academic opportunities, both locally and internationally, during my time in the program which has greatly prepared me to work with NGO and grassroot organizations in the field of human rights.
