7. Any Advice to younger students? A few things: 1) One of my biggest regrets was not going abroad for a semester (but I did take Environmental Psychology in the Rocky Mountains during my junior year Interim, it was one of the best months of my life). Go Abroad. Refer to Adam Alexander when making such a decision. 2) Don’t over analyze things too much. 3) Don’t fear the unknown.
8. What is your favorite place on campus? Kildahl circa 2012.
