Meet Leticia Wood, a first year from Bergenfield, NJ intending to concentrate in Cognitive Neuroscience and Africana Studies. Read her interview below:

Favorite class you’re taking this semester? Why?
Intro to Africana — since it’s an intro course we have to study a lot of different things like history, philosophy. We also have a lot of really cool guest lecturers. It’s a very open dialogue and I feel very comfortable in the space, especially because the professor is a black woman.

What are you currently looking forward to?
I’m really looking forward to taking more Africana classes and seeing what directions it can take me in. I’m taking two classes in Africana next semester and they’re both very different but it’s under the same discipline. One class is Gender, Slavery, and Freedom, which I’m seeing more as historical and theoretical, and the other one is Hip Hop Culture.

Favorite place on campus?
Is it weird if I say Andrews Commons? I really appreciate the food there.
