Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Urban and Regional Planning, clip 9 of 15

Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: Yup, I met a couple students who I got really close with and still talking to. My relationship to Hawaii? Definitely, because a lot of what we did, a lot of the case studies were here in Hawaiʻi. We even had speakers come in to talk about the historical buildings in downtown Honolulu. A woman came in to talk about alternative energy, and it gave me that broader scope . . . I do [see my major differently], mainly because as a natural resource planner – my specialization – I wasn’t exactly sure what that would entail. But after taking the class, I got a taste for it as well a reinforcement that that's something I’m interested in.
