Open House 2010

This weekend we welcomed approximately 25 students and their parents to the Social Science Department’s academic meeting at Open House. We had a great discussion led by Professors Rosenthal and Mirkin with lots of questions from prospective students and their parents.


Meg McPherson, a junior, spoke about the research that she has been involved in during her three years on campus. The project topics range from teaching style, ability to drive while distracted, and perceptions of domestic abuse. She also talked about her plans to study abroad next semester and her current internship at the Walker School.

Bailey Carr, a sophomore, shared her excitement about the Case Management & Counseling video assignment. She was taping that afternoon so we hope that went well!

Katie Pare, another sophomore, talked about community service and the service learning linked credit program. She had done a linked credit in her Introduction to Human Services class that actually led to the service site offering her a job!

If you are a prospective student, let us know what you thought of our presentations or send us additional questions you might have.

If you are a current or former student and have a topic you would like to see us discuss at the next Open House . . . let me know. We would love to have you participate!
