Blog 4 Interview Preparation

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  Why?

I plan to interview either my mentor Karen Russikoff, UCLA Professor Kathleen Dahlgren or both of them. I plan to interview my mentor because she has a PHD in Linguistics from USC and I will also be taking her class this fall. I plan to interview Kathleen Dahlgren because she has a PHD in linguistics from UCLA and also is currently a adjunct professor at UCLA. Dahlgrens affiliation with UCLA is important to me because I would like to go to UCLA to study Linguistics; UCLA has the 3rd top Linguistics program in the world.
