Anna Corey

Anna is a Junior University Scholar from Waco, Texas concentrating in Political Science and Neuroscience with a Minor in Criminal Justice. Anna lived in Collins Hall during her first year at Baylor and plans to attend grad school after graduation. On campus, Anna is involved with the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.

Anna’s favorite reading list book was Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. She is currently interested in pursuing a thesis related to drug policy or philosophy. Anna has worked with faculty mentors Drs. Elizabeth and David Corey, Dr. Anderson, and Dr. Whittenton.

To the new students, Anna says, “Start using a digital calendar! It truly will save your college experience -- there are too many times I've double-scheduled something and been saved by my Apple calendar. ”

Extracurricular Experiences

Examined Life Scholars: I spent a few weeks this summer as a student mentor for the Examined Life Scholars program, which partners Baylor students with local Waco ISD high school students. We spend a few weeks in seminars with them and then help them through the college application process in monthly one-on-one meetings throughout the school year!

Baylor Philanthropy and Public Service Department: Getting involved in the Philanthropy and Public Service department at Baylor led me to participate in one of my favorite extracurriculars at Baylor -- during a course I took called "Learning for the World," we got to spend time assisting in teaching English as a Second Language classes at McLennan Community College. It was such an incredible experience, and I would highly suggest getting in touch with them to discover other opportunities for community involvement!
