Honors General Interdisciplinary

Curating Narrative in the Arts
I was able to complete an internship with a local non-profit, Harvester Arts. That led to further partnerships with organizations which opened doors that allowed me to complete an extensive individual research project, and curate an exhibition with local artists at a gallery in Wichita.

Relations of the Mind & Body
Designing my own track within the interdisciplinary track allowed me to combine the two fields that mean the most to me in my desired practice. Using exercise science and psychology, I was able to piece together how the body and mind live in unison and how the effects of one impacts the other. This unique track will undoubtedly be beneficial as I begin my studies in a physical therapy program.
