Erin Woggon
Erin Woggon graduated in the spring of 2020 as an International Affairs and German double major. She was involved in Honors Toppers, German Club, and Delta Zeta.
Erin not only passed her thesis defense, on "Recruiting Women to Politics: Insights from German Politicians," with distinction, but she also won the award of Honors Thesis Of The Year. The thesis was based on research conducted through a Faculty-Undergraduate Student Engagement (FUSE) research grant. She presented her research at a number of conferences, including at the annual meetings of the Southern Political Science Association and International Studies Association (ISA) Midwest.
Majoring in International Affairs at WKU allowed Erin to learn about complex ideas and issues facing different regions around the world. This allowed her to identify patterns and consistencies between regions.
Erin has made the most of her time at WKU by studying abroad several times. She studied abroad twice in Germany and was able to conduct research related to her Honors thesis while there. “My time in Germany was incredibly immersive and personally rewarding through my German language development in addition to networking." She also spent her final semester in Thailand funded by various study abroad scholarships.
