INGRID PARL
HOMETOWN:
 Arlington, MA
HIGH SCHOOL:
 Buckingham, Browne, and Nicols
MAJOR:
 The College of Social Studies (CSS), Psychology
THESIS:
 Danish Welfare State and its applicability to the United States. I hope to use all study areas of the CSS - government, economics, history, and philosophy - throughout the piece.
ACTIVITIES:
 I'm mainly involved in Varsity Women's Soccer, Ebony Singers and a work-study job in the Athletic Department. I have also participated in club ice hockey, intramural softball and intramural basketball.  I also had the opportunity to work as a teacher's assistant (TA) in the Psychology Department and have been a tour guide since my sophomore year.
OUTSIDE
WESLEYAN:
 I have been interning at Goldman Sachs in New York for the past two summers, and spent my sophomore winter working at Siemans with a Wesleyan alum.  I took the fall of my junior year off and traveled to parts of Africa, India, Thailand, Australia, and Fiji for four months on my own.
AFTER
WESLEYAN:
 I plan to spend a couple of years traveling, working and volunteering, then going to law school.
FAV WES EXPERIENCE:
 I lived in a fraternity my sophomore year.  And yes, I'm a girl! It was certainly an atypical experience, but I ended up meeting a whole new crowd of people and getting a clue into the frat life at Wes that I otherwise would not have been able to have.
