Rafael Viscarra
English and History with a Human Rights minor
I currently work as a tutor for high school students at a charter school near my hometown.
The impact of my degree has been twofold. It has prepared me with the skills to think critically and given me the mental stamina to juggle multiple topics and tasks. But it has also altered me on a deeper level. With degrees such as English and human rights, that encourage you to question the world around you, I find that I am less inclined to accept the status quo. In an era when higher education is constantly under attack, especially fields in the humanities, I thank my studies for helping me realize how dangerous that can be.
Yesenia Rodriguez
Psychology with a Human Rights minor
I am currently a graduate student that just completed my first year of law school.
I took Human Rights in Latin America as a “filler” course. I ended up falling in love with the subject as it fueled my passion for advocating for the public. It aligned directly with my law career aspirations.
