So my major at Mary Wash was a bachelors in
Science and Geology and I got a minor in French.
I really love the Geology department.
I actually started to come to UMW not for
Geology, I wanted to become an English major.
But my first introductory Geology course really
introduced me to the sciences and the passion
that my professor had for Geology made me
really passionate about Geology, so I switched
and became a Geology major.
My UMW degree actually prepared me for graduate
school because I don't think without the experiences
and the skills that I learned here I'd be
able to successfully work through my degree
as a graduate student.
I think I became more confident and I think
I was able to better engage with people and
faculty members in order to better establish
connections.
