"I found this major while looking at electives to take in the bulletin. I completed the intro course with Dr. Shelba Branscum and fell in love with her teaching style and the coursework. Southeast was supportive, open, and caring. I was pushed to try things I never thought I would pursue."Danielle Alspaugh, ' 03
