More about Harper

Future plans:

After completing my undergrad at GU, I plan to pursue a Master's in education to become an English and History high school teacher.  

How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?

My dual English and History majors have given me the skills to further my curiosity in the world around me by allowing me to be in academic spaces with others who are curious about the same things I am and by allowing me to keep asking questions.

What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your Gonzaga career?

My most significant accomplishments are the articles I have published in the Gonzaga Bulletin. To put work you are proud of out into the world is a very special and rewarding process, one I am grateful to have accomplished early on in my life.
