I chose Western to major in Economics because I love this campus

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.000
and I love the way Economics can explain complex ideas. 

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:17.000
Like how governments, businesses, and firms effect industries world wide.

Currently, I am taking Intermediate Microeconomics with John Leadley and I'm really enjoying the class.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.000
Today, we talked about how 

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.000
people can discount the future and the present and how they spend their time.

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:42.000
One of the best things I think about our faculty is the fact that whether I'm taking a class with them or not 

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:49.000
their door is always open willing to discuss my career or my major which is really helpful for me.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.000
Besides going to classes I also work on campus at Service Learning and Career Development Center. 

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.000
At SLCD we provide resources for all the students 

00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:63.000
and help them volunteer, get some experience under their belt before they go into the workforce. 

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.000
Thanks to the free career testing that they offer at SLCD 

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:16.000
once I graduate from Western my plans are either to become a Foreign Officer in the US State Department or a Community Outreach Liaison.

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:22.000
I would recommend WOU to any student seeking a positive environment to learn and grow in.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.000
And I'm looking forward to seeing where my degree takes me in life.

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000
Western Oregon University is the right place for me.
