Department of Sociology

"There's often a communication gap between the public and key decision makers on issues that truly matter. My long-term goal is to help bridge that gap, by working in a research institute that analyzes social issues. The Sociology program is helping me reach that goal. I’m learning how society works, as well as how to analyze and interpret a wide range of quantitative and qualitative data." Nanette Star '07 Portland, Oregon
