Every graduate student becomes a member upon registration at the university.
I completed a bachelor's degree in English literature at the University of Texas at Austin. After graduation, I worked for about five years. Although I enjoyed the work I did, especially in non-commercial radio, I realized that the jobs which really interested me required a graduate degree. I chose to come here because Memorial's folklore program has a good reputation in the field. On a personal level, I was looking for a large, stable program at a smaller university.
