Experiences at Western Washington University

I studied Communication and was introduced to the concept of media gatekeepers, the principles of persuasion, and rhetorical criticism. I performed a semiotic anlaysis and wrote a term paper on the title sequence of "Law & Order" - yeah, the TV show. Let's just say I cringe whenever I hear: "In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups..."

I am in the pre-physical therapy program and I will graduate this fall with a BS. I have had an extensive backgroud in anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, kinesiology and an overall clear understanding of the human body.

I capitalized on the opportunity to absorb the diverse array of knowledge, and experiences offered at Western Washington University.

In the Law and Diversity program, we focus on developing the skills to succeed in law school and the legal profession. We also examine legal institutions from a social justice orientation and focus on how to advocate for groups which have been historically marginalized (e.g. women of color and gays and lesbians).
