I am a bachelor of arts graduate student from the University of Alberta. I studied the history of art, design, and, visual culture as a major and psychology as a minor. Spending about five years at the university gave me a great chance to intellectually and personally strengthen. In my opinion, one of the most important goals that this university strives for is to make students be able to independently and critically think and, articulate those ideas with verbal or written language. The process to exercise those intellectual abilities leads individuals to attain a more open and critical perspective to look at the world. I think it aligns perfectly with the goal of this institution which tries to motivate students by strengthening them as more personally and intellectually powerful people.
