Congratulations Carlee and Class of 2022!
Why did you select WOU?
I chose WOU because I wanted to attend a university where I was noticed. I did not want to be another number and wanted to be able to have a connection with my professors. Initially, I began my journey as a criminal justice major then found a calling for forensic science.
What is your favorite building on campus?
My favorite building would probably have to be the DeVolder Family Science Center! It was always such a great place to study!
What was your favorite WOU memory?
My freshman year I lived in Heritage Hall in 2nd Gunn. I met some of the best friends there. We always hung out in our fishbowl, ate meals together and are all still very close friends to this day!
What are your plans after graduation?
After graduation, I plan to go home for the summer and then come back to Oregon for a job in the biology field for the next year.
