What was your most impactful class? Rather than one specific class, the most impactful part of my time at SPU has been the multidisciplinary approach to my education. Professors like Dr. Wall-Scheffler (in human physiology and biological anthropology) and Dr. Neuhouser (in sociology of Latin America and community development) collectively shaped my worldview by bridging the gap between biological functions and societal structures, allowing me to apply complex concepts to everyday human interactions and preparing me to work more effectively with diverse populations, especially in healthcare.
