Santa Clara University

Currently a law student at University of Pennsylvania, Deepti Shenoy wrote her responses when she was a senior at Santa Clara University.

In college, I was constantly discovering new passions I couldn’t resist pursuing. Triple majoring in History, Religious Studies and Women and Gender Studies definitely kept me on my toes, and my various academic and nonacademic activities, including six classes every quarter, working as peer educator in a yearlong Ethics and Globalization class, becoming involved in research with my professors, various art projects, learning cooking, and vegetable gardening made me feel a bit like a professional juggler. It was a challenge, and at times I had my parents pulling their hair out in frustration, but what’s life without a little excitement? At least, that’s what I keep telling myself, since it doesn’t look like things will be slowing down anytime soon.

As The Big Q's student intern, Alicia Rangel manages the project Facebook page and video contest.

Originally from San Jose, CA, I decided to keep it local when it came to college and I am a senior at Santa Clara University. My major is management, and I also have a minor in music. I hope to work for a major tech company, a start–up non-profit, or some happy mix of the two when I graduate. I would also love to continue my other interests post–graduation, which include music, theater, and art.

First and foremost, the Big Q is for college students.  We want it to be an online hub for honest discussion about the everyday--but sometimes complicated--ethical issues students have to come to grips with. 

But the Big Q is also for the people who care about college students--parents, teachers, and student life professionals.  It's a way to find out what issues students are wrestling with.

We'd love for the blog to be place where students can talk among themselves and also with older people who  understand--or want to understand--what they are going through.
