In this semester’s final episode of Office Hours: Student Spotlight, Emilee sat down with Faiza Gebi and discussed, among other things, the power of fronting aspects of one’s identity, history, or background in their research. Faiza notes that this has allowed her to not only learn new things about herself, but also, and importantly, enter new aspects or contextual articulations into ongoing conversations and, in doing so, teach others something new, even experts on the topic.

Have you ever wondered what’s going on over in the Psych department at Huron? Today’s episode gives you a pretty good introduction to student life and the many research possibilities open to psychology students at Huron University. In the midst of wrapping up their own honors thesis, Alex sits down with two colleagues—Eden Brown and Katelyn Matsumoto—to discuss the specific projects and opportunities they’ve been involved in during their time here—with some hints on how one might also pursue similar possibilities—and reflect on the cumulative, intrinsic value of their undergraduate experiences.

In our inaugural episode of Office Hours: Student Spotlight Madison asks Brianne Machan about several different projects that she’s been involved in. The number and variety of these extracurricular, experiential learning opportunities speak not only to Brianne’s passion for history, archives, and research, but also the many possibilities available to students at Huron University who are willing to “make opportunities” come their way, as Brianne put it. She notes how conversations have a way of building into opportunities and as an example points out how her letterpress position started with volunteering to be a residence ambassador.
