Spencer

Spencer graduated in May 2010 with two degrees in Law and Society and Political Science.  He will attend law school in the fall.  While at Purdue, Spencer was involved with the College of Liberal Arts Dean's Ambassadors, Dean's Scholar Program, and his fraternity.

Your Choice:  "If you have a wide array of interests, a Liberal Arts education allows you to explore a variety of topics while at the same time preparing you for life.  I chose my major because I've always been interested in the political system and the way it works.  I think it's very important for people to be aware of what's going on around them in the world of politics, so they can make educated decisions when it comes to voting and electing leaders."

How do you think your Liberal Arts education will help you in graduate school?: "The reading intensive courses that I took as an undergraduate not only prepared me for the type of coursework I will experience in law school, but were also an excellent opportunity for me to hone my critical thinking skills which, as a lawyer, is an invaluable tool."
