Meet theatre and communication major Sarah Studzinski
"In high school I did EVERYTHING. I was one of those students who participated in marching band, theatre, show choir, honors classes, Girl Scouts, and community volunteer activities. When looking for a college, I wanted the opportunity to explore my many passions. The College of Liberal Arts at Purdue has made that possible. It provides an arena to learn, grow, and explore. Find a place to explore your passions."The staff of the African American Studies and Research Center
The staff of the African American Studies and Research Center, which opens students to other cultures through program courses.

Antonio Tillis, assistant professor of Spanish and African American Studies, loves the interdisciplinary nature of the program. "Interdisciplinary collaboration is crucial to my research," says Tillis. "Theoretical principles from literary studies, political science, history, sociology, and more are germane to my work." Tillis studies the African diaspora to gain a fuller understanding of the global nature and presence of people of African descent as well as the consequences of slavery and other historical events on people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.Accounting professor Carol Anilowski
