Academics at FLC with Sadie

Transcript

Okay, everyone, next, we’re gonna go meet Sadie Wendt. She’s a senior and transfer student and she is incredible. And we couldn’t be more excited to have her talk about academics here at Fort Lewis. Hey Sadie, you’re on, take it away.

Hello, everyone. I am so excited to be here to talk to you all about academics here at Fort Lewis that I have found incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. There are many opportunities within the majors and programs to find your home.

There are over 50 majors to choose from, as well as minors, concentrations and certificates that you can combine to make your own. Fort Lewis offers programs in arts and humanities, science, business and education. For example, I’m a theater performance major here, but I have been involved in the music department and I’ve recently taken an interest in the education classes and programs we have here on campus.

The faculty at Fort Lewis have been incredibly welcoming and personable and I have been able to connect and make relationships with professors. Honestly, that’s something I didn’t have at my last college and something I really appreciate about Fort Lewis. The best part is the small class sizes. You really get to know your professors and your classmates. Fort Lewis’ curriculum is very engaging and I love that we as students get to experience our areas of study hands-on. We’re not just sitting in a lecture listening, we’re going out and doing.

Depending on your major, that could be teaching in a local elementary school or doing your own research in a lab. For me, it’s performing on a stage. Overall, Fort Lewis has been one of the best academic decisions that I’ve made in my life to help prepare me and support me for my future, especially the hands-on learning experience. I hope you’ve learned a little bit about the academics here at Fort Lewis. I’ve had so much fun. Back to you, Alex.

Sadie, thank you, great job. That was awesome to learn more about the academics through your personal perspective and experiences. That was great, thanks again. Bye, Sadie.
