Alumni Spotlight
Georgia Veverka
English Major, Class of 2020
My English major introduced me to the importance of studying literature to develop my capacity for empathy. Throughout various courses, I read texts written from the perspectives of individuals vastly different from myself, and through in-class discussions, research papers, and group presentations, I gained a more nuanced understanding of how others may react to, interpret, and reconcile with their unique circumstances. Throughout the progression of my courses, I became interested in this connection between literature and empathy, and I ultimately used my senior thesis to explore how contemporary literature can function to provide lessons in tolerance and compassion. As I reflect on my undergraduate education, I feel confident that my time spent in English courses has prepared me to practice medicine with an eye for the whole person.
