Onyinye Kanu ’09
Anthropology modified with AAAS; Pre-Med track
F08-S09 D-plan: R-L-R

Favorite and least favorite thing about department: Great professors who don’t have support from the College leave.

Important info for potential majors: Talk to people about this major. There are a lot of courses outside of the AAAS course listing that could count for the major or for the modifier, you just have to ask about it.

Talk to me if: you need help with fitting it all in your D-Plan. It can usually work.

Most valuable academic information learned: Take a Professor to lunch, you’re more memorable that way.

Favorite class and professor: Lats 31- Constructing Race and Ethnicity in the US with Professor Christina Gomez; This class made sophomore summer actually matter. Anth 33- Crossing Over: Latino Roots and Transitions with Professor Lourdes Gutierrez-Najera; There was actually some fieldwork involved in this course that allowed me to get to know a friend more and understand what Anthropologists do out in the field.
