Jude Drouillard, MA History '25
"I pick[ed] Public History after an internship where we presented at a social justice workshop....tell[ing] my community about the findings--to draw a connecting line between...the past and the tangible present--was extremely fulfilling".

Jose Silva, Sociology '22
Policy Analyst, Texas Senate
“The beauty of liberal arts and a major like sociology is that it is based on people and there is no career where you do not need to interact with people and the social systems they create.”
