My name's Micah Iverson, I'm a fourth year and I'm majoring in English and Religious Studies
I chose to come to UVA because it's a public school, but it kinda seems like a private school, in that everyone's really close
When I first came here, I had every intention of majoring in Economics. When I took an English class though, I found
I really enjoyed enjoyed not just the material but the people and the professors
Through my english classes I had the opportunity to meet Professor Stephen Cushman and he
immediately became one of my biggest role models here at UVA, he introduced me to a
ton of really neat classes that kind of led to my interest in Comparative Literature
It really is cool that professors will take time out of their schedules to talk to students
and to learn more about them, when they have research to do, people to meet, classes to teach
Having a University Faculty this invested in my pursuits and where I'm going to go after UVA
is really comforting and it's really nice to know that someone's looking out for me
