Meet Augie Schoonveld, an Honors @CLA student from Newberg, Oregon.
His studies blend history and medical humanities, offering a unique perspective on the medical world. As a pre-med student, Augie values the critical thinking skills gained through history and the diverse analysis provided by the medical humanities.
Augie says the HC and CLA both provide "a lot of opportunities for students that enrich the OSU experience and connect you to resources." He adds, "The College of Liberal Arts gives me a unique pre-med experience that focuses on writing, communication, and critical thinking skills, as well as STEM. And, of course, the thesis provides me an opportunity to show medical schools how I apply myself to a project I’m passionate about."
Currently in Stage 2 of the Honors thesis process, Augie is "not married to an idea yet. And that’s okay; research is 'me-search,'" he says. "I’m not committing until I feel confident about my topic."
