Majors: Philosophy and Anthropology
NEIU student since fall 2004 - I will be a senior next semester
Involved in: Anthropos (secretary), and this year's ethics bowl team and other assorted things I get randomly recruited to do in what little free time I have available.
Plans after graduation: I am going to grad school for archaeology-specifically mesoamerican archaeology. I want to work on Mayan archaeology so I plan on spending a lot of time in Central America. I will eventually get my doctorate and I will most likely teach.
Areas of interest: I like philosophy but I do it more for fun and to keep me sharp than as a career goal. I love archaeology. I want to do as much field work as possible. I have already been to Belize twice for field schools and I am going back again twice in this next year.

I'm double-majoring in Philosophy and English. I am also the current Philosophy tutor. My main interest is in the History of Philosophy, especially Kant and the late moderns, but I am currently working in 19th and 20th Century Continental Philosophy, especially Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, and American pragmatism, where I am currently researching Dewey and Addams' conceptions of patriotism and valuation. I plan to pursue a Ph.D in Philosophy and teach and write out my days.

Majors: Anthropology & Philosophy
Interest: Anthropology: career pursuit, Philosophy: personal pursuit. Interested in philosophy of religion, non-deductive logic, Plato, metaphysics, existentialism.
Career Plans: No idea yet. Definitely want to teach someday, but more like when I'm 50 or so and have some good stories to tell. I will graduate December '08, after that I would like to do the Peace Corps or some kind of introductory applied anthropology type field to just explore and learn for a while. Love to work with and around people (don't want to be in a lab by myself). Grad school eventually, in archaeology or cultural anthropology. Would love to do research of any kind, haven't narrowed it down just yet.

Double Majoring in Philosophy and Economics, with a Minor in Applied Mathematics
Graduating in Spring '08, I am currently studying abroad at the University of Warsaw, working on things unrelated to philosophy. The exploits of this journey can be seen and read about at www.mrunabridged.com/
My tentative plans for the future involve applying to a graduate program in journalism, making an attempt at paying off school loans, and perhaps doing some more traveling... My ultimate goal/fantasy is to have Charlie Rose's job and Sean Penn's voice - forever.
