What Students Say
"I grew a lot as an anthropology student under Young-a Park's guidance. She has an eye for her students' strengths and she isn't afraid to push individuals toward their potential, even if this requires a departure from their comfort zones. All the while, she provides a supportive atmosphere for growth and ample opportunities for students to meet with her one-on-one and discuss their ideas in greater depth, making herself accessible to students even as she challenges them."
-Rayla Bellis, Anthropology and Sociology and Economics Major
