What are the one or two events, courses or people that stand out in your mind from your time at UMass Boston? Please explain.

Professors Tim Sieber and James Pasto took extra care to present information that was truly holistic and expansive within their classes. Their genuine support brought inspiration and enjoyment to my experience at UMASS.

Has studying anthropology impacted your perspective (personally, professionally, or other)? If so, how?

Yes. Anthropology provides a holistic perspective of human experience. There are openings provided into wisdom rather than solely intellect. Anthropology provides a unique perspective into the world and its limitless opportunities.
