Barbara Hughes, 99 - Behavioral Science Program Coordinator

Memory: Always a great day to be a roadrunner!

I was an undergrad student in Speech Communication when I took ANT 101 Intro to Cultural Anthropology in the late 90's. I was so turned on by anthropology, that I changed my major to behavioral science with a concentration in anthropology. I went on to a Master of Social Science at UCD. That one class, taught by an adjunct professor, turned my entire life around. I started in 2006 as Affiliate Faculty, teaching anthropology for Metro and sociology for CCD. I am now the Behavioral Science Program Coordinator for Metro, advising students in the same major that I completed in 1999. I have attended conferences, published articles, worked a Maya site in Belize, and met many terrific people, all of which started with that one class. For me, it's always a great day to be a Roadrunner!
