Feeling included and welcome in a community here is very important to me. One example I could mention is when the Brazilian Student Association organized a screening of the World Cup and we all got to laugh and cry together.
I like going to Global Thrift in Waltham - so many of my clothes are from there!
our plural community is full with people from all backgrounds and walks of life, which creates a very unique environment with so many perspectives and passions are shared. I am always learning something new and opening my eyes to other ways of appreciating the world.
Prof. Ellen Schattschneider, is my favorite, no doubt! She is the Undergraduate Advising Head of the Anthropology Department and she teaches courses about Anthropology of Religion, Cultural and Psychological Anthropology, as well as East Asian Studies and Women and Gender Studies. I like to say that out of everyone I know, I would choose her to be my all-time therapist, because she is a great listener, but also very intelligent and wise.
