PAIGE REMINGTON

After three years of pursuing a biomedical engineering degree, I made the difficult decision to change my major and pursue degrees in Health, Society & Policy and International Studies. The HSP program appealed to me specifically because of its multidimensional focus on health – I have been able to learn about everything from the economics of health, to maternal health research in Tibet, to creating a proposed food policy in the HSP Capstone course. I have also been involved with a multitude of extracurriculars while at the U including being on the Student Board at the Bennion Center, a Career Ambassador at the Career & Professional Development Center, and a Policy Fellow at Sorenson Impact Center. I am planning to earn my master's in either Public Policy or Public Health and move on to pursue a career in international development and global health.
