Class of 2025

Gavin's D-Plan

- FallOn Campus
  Favorite Class: EARS 14: Meteorology
  Oh. My. Goodness. What a fun class this was! As a certified weather and climate geek, I was totally entrenched in everything we done in this course. From the labs and weather presentations to the "flipped" classroom experience, I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Dr. Osterberg's excitement for the course material made it that much more enjoyable! It was truly an extraordinary first-year course to take.
- WinterOn Campus
  Favorite Class: GOVT 7.14: Does Democracy Work?
  I’ve loved this class from beginning to end. For one, I enjoyed it because of the people in it, but I also loved it because of the content. Through frequent class discussion, I learned about the health of our democracy and the ways it is compromised. Very enlightening class!
- SpringOn Campus
  Favorite Class: REL 5: Early Christianity: The New Testament
  Religion 5 was a quintessential liberal arts course that deepened my knowledge in a subject I thought I had all figured out. As a STEM-oriented student, this class offered the perfect balance to my spring term schedule. As a result of this class, I became more introspective of how I was raised, and I'm more grateful in my ability to be a free-thinker.
- SummerOff Campus Internship - Princeton, New Jersey
  This summer, I explored my future career plans by participating in a research internship with the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at Princeton University. I learned a lot about what I want (and what I don't want) in a future career, and I made so many awesome lifelong connections!
- FallOn Campus
  Favorite Class: SPEE 20.01: Public Speaking
  A course rooted in both philosophical theory and real, practical methods of becoming a better public speaker was the highlight of the term. Our class of 16 students grew to be a sort of "mini-family," and I'm so grateful for the connections I made. I completely changed the way I view public speaking and homed in on my own skills as a public speaker!
- WinterOn Campus
  Favorite Class: SOCY 31: Youth and Society
  Once again, a course outside my major found its way into my favorite class list. This sociology course helped me better understand how children are viewed in society, the way sociologists study youth, and the major differences in norms around childhood around the world. Who knew there was so much to learn about youth culture!

Putting the "People" in People, Places, Pines

This summer has shown me the importance of true friends and healthy relationships no matter where you are or what you're doing.

Remember to Appreciate the "Little" Things

I got the opportunity to visit my family for a week during my summer internship. Everyone needs a refresh at some point, and it was the perfect time for me to remember the "simple life."
