I chose to major in political science at Western Oregon University because I want to make a difference in the community around me

This is my last term at Western and I am currently in governmental budgeting with professor Dover
While budgeting is not the funnest subject, Dover makes it exciting and easy to learn
The best thing about Western's faculty is their level of personableness 
I'm able to go and talk to the professors one on one many times during the week if necessary to complete assignments
and they're always willing to help me
As a senior I was asked to participate in this years academic excellence showcase
with my presentation on civic engagement and how to connect with your community
Aside from schoolwork here at Western I am also an intern in the president's office
assisting with policy updates for the policy council
This is a great opportunity because it's a chance for me to actually apply the skills I've learned during my education
With my undergraduate degree in political science I plan on attending graduate school and receiving a master's degree in public policy and administration
with hopes of working with a state agency
I would definitely recommend Western to other college students
because as a first generation college student the faculty and staff have the skills necessary to help guide you through college
Western Oregon University is the right place for me
