I credit forensics as the reason I have been able to suceed acedemically and personally. The skills in critcal thinking, information consolidation, note taking, and research that forensics has taught me are immensly valuable to the way I think and form my perspective. In class, work, and daily life, I use these skills in order to help me understand and interact with the world I live and experience. The forensics progam provides students an engaging and challenging outlet to practice forming thoughts and framing postions in a unqiue way often unattainable otherwise.
