What QB Scholars say about their favorite classes...

"My Substance Use and Abuse class, which was a psychology class. I actually did research on my own on topics that had come up in class and interested me. I was very passionate about this class."
- Alivia Moore, Chamberlain Scholar, Class of 2009

"The most exciting class that I have taken thus far was Africana Studies: Blackness in America. The discussions were thought-provoking, interesting, and sometimes challenging. It was great to hear different perspectives from a diverse group of people."
