How I Think and Do

Storytelling. Beekeeping. The law. Pick any profession, and there’s a good chance our alumni are leading the way.

They are critical thinkers and talented doers who use their education and skills for good. Check out the videos on this page to meet some of our graduates. Get a glimpse of how they apply lessons from their humanities and social sciences degrees in the real world.

We hope you’ll join our pack and realize what you can think and do.
