A History Major joins Phi Beta Kappa
Meet Natalie Riddick, a senior History Major here at LMU! Natalie was recently accepted into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious academic honors society! Her proudest moments here at LMU include her time as a History TA, the connections she has made with faculty and fellow students, as well as her service as a Peer Leader for the BCLA Advising Center.
In the future, Natalie plans to use the knowledge and skills she has gained from her History degree to pursue a career in public policy and advocacy, eager to promote positive change and to repair broken systems. She credits Professor Najwa Al-Qattan’s course on the Modern Middle East for solidifying her decision to study history as she learned how a historical understanding is necessary in order to successfully grapple with inequalities and injustices around the world today.
