Profiles of Anthropology Students

Kathalane Willis

Why I chose Western

"I really wanted to transfer from my Community College but I was not sure what I wanted to study yet. Western was more affordable; especially while I was deciding what to Major in."

Why I chose Anthroplogy

"Anthropology focuses on a holistic perspective; utilizing different views presented from the many social sciences, I feel like I can obtain a more lucid view of human history. I love learning about people from all over and experiencing different cultures and perspectives-it just fits."

Research interests

"Economic Development in LDC's, Social inequality & Lab work w/ Orendorf site."

After graduation

"Peace Corps then Grad School for Socio-Cultural Anthropology or vice versa. (I'm) Excited for the many courses being offered and loving the experience! "
