I came to Western to major in Anthropology because of its dedicated faculty that helps every student succeed in college
and their passion for helping us learn about the world and the people we share it with.

One of the classes I'm taking for anthropology is the language in culture class. 
This class does a really good job at not only illustrating different cultures of the world,
but identifying different languages that people speak as well. 
The anthropology department promotes itself as being the humanistic of all the sciences. 
I believe this truly shows in each and every professor as they care about each of us. 
And I've learned a lot from both my advisor and my other professor. 
Besides attending classes I've found the peer mentor program, which I've ben involved with for the last three years.
I'm currently a peer mentor leader 
and our program focuses on wellness education and interactive activities that help new students succeed in college. 
My career goal is to be an archaeologist. 
Through the anthropology department, I've been able to attend a field study in Idaho where we excavated an early paleo Indian site. 
And utilized emerging technology that allowed us to analyze artifacts. 
After all this, I feel very prepared to attend graduate school.
I highly recommend Western because of the great community and campus culture here. 
There are many opportunities to get involved and meet new students and staff that help you thrive in college. 
Western Oregon University, where every student matters.
