Independent and a high achiever, the anthropology and sociology double major admits to having a bit of imposter syndrome \u2014 in spite of early successes that include an award for her first research paper and a Sister Cities immersive internship in a small coastal town in France. She says her Transy professors always encouraged her to push hard and to think strategically in building toward her future career. She came to Transy from Maryville, Tennessee, without a major in mind. But when she took the general education class Introduction to Cultural Anthropology, she never looked back. \u201cMind blowing and eye opening\u201d are descriptions she uses to describe the experience. She loves the science of her two disciplines and how relevant both are in daily life. And she looks forward to applying all that she learns to benefit the lives of immigrants, helping them know their rights and access what is theirs under the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/05\/transylvania_senior-spotlight_dodds-1-810x537.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/05\/transylvania_senior-spotlight_dodds-1-810x537.png 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/05\/transylvania_senior-spotlight_dodds-1-350x232.png 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/05\/transylvania_senior-spotlight_dodds-1-730x484.png 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/05\/transylvania_senior-spotlight_dodds-1-768x509.png 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/05\/transylvania_senior-spotlight_dodds-1-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/05\/transylvania_senior-spotlight_dodds-1.png 1190w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hard to imagine a place on campus where the positive leadership of <strong>Drew Dodds<\/strong> hasn\u2019t been felt.
