“I’m incredibly thankful and lucky to have had this opportunity working with Dr. Schweitzer. It’s really interesting being able to work more as colleagues in this project while also being student and mentor. I’m able to freely share and develop my own thoughts, and my ideas are taken very seriously.”
“I've loved every part of this experience, but especially having the opportunity to talk to and learn from so many experts in the field. I also loved camping in Wyoming and getting to see how our samples were collected firsthand.”
“It is a nice major for people who really want to have a tangible effect, people who like to create things, and people who like everything. You do a bit of everything. Data science is very much a major that doesn’t exist without other departments. It is in service of whatever client you’re working for. It is interesting with every different job seeing a different side of an industry or a different side of academics.”

“From my anthropology classes, I’ve learned how human experience differs from culture to culture, and even within each culture. From environmental classes, I’ve learned more about what we can do to protect the environment and the people. From my museum education courses and experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to craft the educational experience based on the audience, environment, and intention, to make the greatest impact. The combination of all three has given me the foundation to do this work.”
“The career center is so helpful. I've been involved with the career center and my career advisor since my freshman year. She has been so helpful. She helped me look for different externships and internships and opportunities. And she helped me find an externship that I did the summer after my sophomore year at Mercy Medical Hospital in Baltimore. I got to work with a bunch of different nurses in the hospital, learn from nurses and physicians about working together and different specialties, and work with patients and see what it's like working in a hospital.”

The End of American Exceptionalism?
Andrew Oros, professor of political science and international studies, writes that
the United States should learn from the experiences of other countries as its population
approaches "super-aged" status, when more than 20% of the population is 65+, projected
to happen in 2029.
Each center is linked to a broad intellectual community and provides programming,
events, internships, and coursework that complement the College's diverse academic
