Hello! My name is Brenda and I am a junior in Latino/a Studies and Organizational Studies. I’m taking this class hoping to lay down the foundation for my senior research thesis focusing in positive leadership practices in activism and social movements. In terms of research I always thought about it as producing a legal pad…

In my personal life, I see myself as a sporadic but deep researcher. By this I mean I don’t spend a steady amount of time researching my own decisions – like where the best place is to eat sushi in Ann Arbor, or what C.C. Little did in his lifetime – but when I do…

Being indecisive about so many things means having to constantly do research online or ask questions to those who might have answers.

As an older sister, english speaking daughter, and first generation college student, I’ve had the responsibility of having the answers to many questions I could not answer. I used the people around me, my experiences, and my reliable friend, Google, to find any information I could to help me answer these questions. Whether it was…

When I was in high school, a lot of my friends had joked saying that I was basically the “counselor for the University of Michigan.” Actually, even our college counselor would send other students to me when they had questions about U of M, the common application, the CSS profile, and opportunities at Michigan.
