Share some of your successes / accomplishments since EDS? I am a student on scholarship in the Honors College at UNC. Due largely to the strong educational foundation I received at EDS, I will be graduating in the spring with a double major in philosophy and economics. I am currently working on my senior honors thesis in philosophy. I have recently acquired a penchant for German language/literature, which brought me to Germany over the past summer for study abroad. Next year, I will either be starting a career or taking a gap year (perhaps two) before graduate school.
Share organizations or clubs in which you have membership or support? I have been a DJ and manager at UNC’s student radio station, WXYC 89.3 FM, since 2017. For roughly the same amount of time, I have been an Undergraduate Fellow and blog editor at the Parr Center for Ethics within the UNC philosophy department.
Share any advice that you have for current students or families at EDS. Keep faith, love, and a thirst for knowledge close to your heart.
