Interdisciplinary Studies Spotlight

Interdisciplinary Studies Spotlight

Current students and alumni are invited to share their stories and success!
Attention Interdisciplinary Studies students! We want to share your stories! Tell us about yourself, your journey in Interdisciplinary Studies and what's next for you. We'll feature student spotlights on our social media, website, and other publications highlighting and celebrating your success! You do not have to respond to all of the prompts, but hopefully there is one that inspires you to share!
