Student Testimonial
John Lafe Shannon
Sociology major
Class of 2018
"Throughout my four years at Saint Xavier University, the Sociology, Anthropology,
and Criminal Justice Department was instrumental to my success as a student. I began
my college career like countless other students; overwhelmed and unsure of what to
study. After my first anthropology course, however, I became inspired to pursue archaeology.
As a Sociology major with minors in History, Anthropology, and Middle Eastern Studies,
I was encouraged and supported by department faculty to study abroad and spent the
summer of 2017 digging at a Neolithic site in central China. My time spent in China
solidified my desire to become an archaeologist and provided me with invaluable hands-on
experience. The skills taught to me at Saint Xavier university, coupled with the opportunity
to study abroad, have served me well in my later fieldwork as well as my graduate
studies. Ultimately, the Sociology major and Anthropology minor have prepared me for
myriad future endeavors both inside and outside academia."
