Dan Irete | Anthropology

FRIENDLY. INQUISITIVE. CREATIVE.

"It might sound corny but university is a chance to explore who you are as a person. Don’t limit yourself! Seize every opportunity you get here and try lots of new things, you might be surprised at all the experiences you’re opened up to when you put yourself out there. Also, it’s okay if you run out of breath walking up the Fine Arts stairs, we all do.”

Favourite Class: Urban Anthropology with Jan Newberry
Favourite Social Activity: Soccer intramurals and Pronghorns basketball games (watching people struggle to walk against the wind is an honourable mention)
