From spores to scores: WMU grad student cultivates connection through mycology, music
WMU News
"My work isn't very traditional, and (when I was looking at graduate programs) I felt safe to grow here," Cerberville says. "Programs like this—that do a good job—work because they are consistently supportive. And I have definitely found that. Dr. (Lisa) Coons has really helped me to give my practice more useful language and more useful tools, and the other students I spend time with, that I work with, have also really helped to challenge me and to open up my ideas a bit more."

Highlights from my study abroad in Burgos, Spain
Study Abroad
One of my most rewarding experiences while abroad was a volunteer opportunity. My first Spanish instructor at WMU, and now my dear friend, lives in Burgos. She invited me to volunteer at her job working with young kids. She is what you would call a social worker here in the US, although it is not quite the same. Two or three times a week I would take the city bus to her neighborhood and help her with the kids, usually with homework and studying.
