Philosophy Concentration Fellows
The Philosophy Concentration Fellows are undergraduates who are here to talk to you about philosophy.
If you're new to philosophy, you can reach out to Fellows who have taken the same course before. If you're considering philosophy as a concentration or as part of a joint degree, they can talk about why they chose philosophy over some other options they considered. And if you're thinking about writing a thesis, you'll find a broad range of approaches, as well. Be sure to click through to the full bio for full information.
