High School: South Williamsport High School
Most Influential Professor: Dr. Whelan teaches a contemporary philosophy class, so we have a chance to read stuff that has been written in our lifetime. There’s never a dull moment in his classes – we’re always on our toes.
Favorite Part of Major: As a philosophy major, I study everything from science to art, so it’s never the same thing twice. I’m also reading works from some of the best writers that ever lived!
