I took a course taught by Professor Trond Jacobson that introduced me to the world of forensics. This honors class taught me about global politics and debate in a setting I had never thought I would get to experience before. Attending debates with members of other teams from schools across the country was an opportunity I would never trade. Furthermore, I believe this chance is part of what makes the University of Oregon unique – other future students deserve the same wonderful opportunity I had to gain perspective and education during an ever-changing global landscape.
