Leah says she chose to become a sociology major because, as a sociology major, “I have the ability to see beyond the surface of society and really begin to be critical of social life. Inequality has always been a concept of interest and sociology has really helped me expand that understanding.” Leah has particularly enjoyed her criminology coursework at UB because “We viewed content and subjects at hand in the sociological lens which was powerful in my opinion.”

After graduation, Leah plans to pursue a law degree and focus on civil rights law. She explains, “Racial justice is my passion and so I hope to make an impact in that arena.”
