From Bellevue College to Harvard
“Stephanie Brommer’s anthropology course during my first quarter at Bellevue College forever changed my perception of humanity and the world around us. I was able to take unique and distinctive ideas from cultural anthropology, and draw parallels as to how they relate to the world of economics, which is what I currently study at Harvard.”
