I'm majoring in Peace & Conflict Studies with a concentration in Peace Education.
This Spring, I took these courses:
Introduction to Social and Cultural Analysis

French II
This summer, I will be taking these courses:
Experiencing Education: Race and Ethnicity Inside Schools
Current Issues in Education
