Honors impact and beyond
Her experience as an Honors student and a Blugold Fellow helped Curran-Moore to make personal relationships in college. She explained how she “met a friend in my Women of the Civil Rights Movement Honors class that encouraged me to join the philosophy club, and I'm now the secretary of the club. Since Honors classes are smaller, it's easier to network, which can lead to great opportunities.”
Looking to the future, Curran-Moore plans to enter teaching right away. She explained, “I’ve been a student for a long time, so I’m excited to be on the other side of that.” Being a teacher wasn’t always her calling. However, during the coronavirus pandemic, she said she “realized how important school is for kids and wanted to be a part of that.”
Curran-Moore will be able to take all of her experiences at UWEC, inside and outside of Honors, to excel in her post-graduate plans of becoming a teacher.
