Madison Machen came on her first UL Lafayette campus tour as a junior in high school.
СAPPI immediately knew that UL Lafayette was where I belonged,СAPP she said. СAPPI was really impressed with the wide variety of academics that the СAPP offered, and I thought the campus was beautiful.СAPP
After her first semester as a biology major, Madison realized it wasnСAPPt a perfect fit. After looking through the programs offered, she decided on an anthropology major.
СAPPI chose to study anthropology because it is the perfect blend of the biological and social sciences,СAPP she said. СAPPStudying anthropology gives me the opportunity to go into a wide array of fields after I graduate and to find a profession that I really love."
The anthropology major paired perfectly with her new minor: criminal justice forensics.
СAPPI chose a minor in criminal justice forensics because it is based in the biological sciences and is something that I have found myself being interested in as I have gotten older,СAPP she said.
СAPPYou see so many shows like CSI and Bones on TV, and you never think that you can pursue a career like that in real life,СAPP she said. СAPPT criminal justice forensics minor is exactly that!СAPP
When she graduates, Madison is hoping to get a job with the FBI or a state crime laboratory where she can apply the things sheСAPPs learned in her classes. Until then, she is enjoying her time here with the community and people on campus.
СAPPT СAPP truly has felt like home in the huge transitional period in my life from high school to college,СAPP she said. СAPPIt is also helpful that UL Lafayette does not have a large population of students, so in most classes, you have the opportunity to have one-on-one interactions with your professor and have them remember your name.
СAPPT Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Child & Family Studies has truly great professors, and I have yet to have a professor within the department that was not really good at what they do,СAPP she said. СAPPIt makes my experience so much easier knowing that I will be supported in each of my classes by the professors teaching them.СAPP
