Waldron Career Insights: Social Sciences
This episode features a few clips previous alumni conversations highlighting their memorable experiences relating to their majors in social sciences and how those experiences helped in their future careers.
First are a few selections from our interview with Khoury Cooper ’08 JD’13, where he talks of some memorable Political Science and African American Studies classes and then speaks on how an Arts & Sciences background impacts him as a lawyer today.
Our second clip is a quote from our conversation with Kathy Lin ‘08 PhD, who shares stories about finding the MMSS major and Sociology classes. Kathy goes into detail about how these classes and the professors that taught them helped her support new ways of thinking and find career paths she didn’t know of beforehand.
Lastly, we featured a conversation with Austin Waldron ’78, who many of you may recognize from the name of our program! Austin talks about how Northwestern’s Arts & Sciences education helped him learn to understand people from a variety of different backgrounds, and how that understanding helped him perform better while working in Operations.
