“I wanted to go somewhere where I could actually talk with professors. Professors are fun people and more likely to challenge/help you if you know them. I also wanted to engage with subject materials. I didn’t want to learn history; I wanted to DO history. I didn’t want to learn economics; I wanted to DO economics.”
It’s been extremely exciting, because aim to improve legal resources for adults in custody, and helping write about the new legal resource system and investigate it fascinates me.
"My professors gave me amazing opportunities to learn and grow inside and outside their classes. They challenged me -- do this, try that. I learned how to learn and how to think about questions from multiple angles -- both things that I use in my current job.”
