What Our Alumni Say…
- “I loved standing in front of a class of 80 students. I took my love of literature and tried to offer it to my students. We had no books; I laboriously copied poems and texts onto the blackboard and taught my eager students how to read and write.”
- English major; Peace Corps volunteer
- “I enjoy teaching complex issues to both patients and parents on a simple level and to residents and colleagues on a more complex level.”
- Chemistry major; Pediatrician
