Charity
My name is Charity Slaughter and I am a senior here at ODU. I'm a double major in Psychology and Philosophy with a focus on religious studies. Some of you might find this to be an odd combination but I challenge you to see for yourself how human behavior and religion go hand in hand. I have also been actively involved in research here at ODU and when I graduate I plan to further my education by getting my M.S is IO Psychology.
Terrian
Hi! I am a senior majoring in Philosophy with a minor in Human Services. I am employed as a Resident Assistant and serve as secretary for ODU men's club soccer. When I came to ODU I wanted to pick a field that would challenge me. The philosophy department has motivated me to think critically and not view information as black and white, and has given me the capacity to examine social problems from a unique perspective. I hope it will aid me on my journey of helping others in need.
Khalia
Hi! I am a senior here at ODU. Prior to transferring last fall I was a Nursing major, however, the spark wasn’t there anymore. After taking Bioethics during my first semester here, I fell in love with ethics. Switching majors was the best decision I've made. Philosophy challenges me to approach people and the world differently. In my free time, I enjoy reading, and discussing women and children rights, the black experience and current events. I am excited to meet and interact with you all!
