Hi, I am Brianna! I am a second year Environmental Management and Protection Major. This class seemed like a good option because it is about sustainable development, specifically technology, which are two things I am interested in.

Hi, I am Tony! I am a fourth year Mechanical Engineering Major. I would like to know what is happening around the world so I know what I can do to help, so I believe this class will help me be more aware of all the events around the globe.

Hi, I am Cassidy! I am a third year Graphic Communications Major. I took this class because I thought it would teach me something about the world that no other classes that I take have taught me. I care about equal rights and this class helps me learn how I personally can effect change.
