Introduction

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

My name is Gavin Schneider, and I'm going to be leading you on this sort of a virtual tour of sorts. I worked as a research assistant with the Build Exit, a research program. I researched autistic adults on help, behavior and health care. Otherwise, on campus, I'm on student council, which is I like it a protein state a lot, because we are a very politically active campus. I'm not going to get into politics in these videos, because that's not what they're for. If you're interested in getting involved with you know your you're in your social justice, you're, you know, advocacy, get into your your twenties kind like the seventies. If you're interested in something like that, some real political activist, important states a great place to come. Um, I'm on improv club, which is the highlight of my week every week. Um, yeah, Double majoring in communication and philosophy. I'm specifically interested in the nature of knowledge and the way that human thought processing works because, you know knowledge is a human construct. How? Yeah, how is our cognition affected? How does you know stimuli? I kind of like you're experiencing right now. How does that affect brain development or the way that you process information after being exposed to, you know, the media for long periods of time? Those kinds of questions are what I'm interested in. Um, I've just begun studying for the G R E the Graduate school tests, which is a daunting feet. There's a lot of information on these testing in these books that I don't know and don't have. It's funny because all the stuff that I'm being tested on to get into grad school is stuff that I thought I was going to need coming into college A lot of like digits, different math, knowledge, statistics, algebra, geometry, knowing the entomology of words and had a diagram, sentences, sentence structure. And it's a little odd, but the point I'm trying to make is that I didn't know this stuff coming into college. I still don't know a lot of it, but that was something that I was worried about and you know, Prior knowledge isn't necessarily something that you need to worry about when picking a university or these picking port in St Um, Now, once you get here, the students that do have the skills and know the stuff have less work to do. The Portland State is bountiful in re in campus resources and support for its students. The student body is so big that no one's gonna hold your hand through anything, so it's really up to you to find the resource is and two, you have to find the drive within yourself in the wantto Learn these things to get it done. The Portland State student is the proactive student, and that could be really hard Sometimes, especially the winters here get daunting. It's cold and it's raining and doing that, you know, everyone gets kind of sad and upset. That's that's those times that you need to, you know, focus on what's important. You gotta get yourself to the resource is you gotta go to improv club. It's a weird place, and I'm excited to show it to you. Don't Don't worry about not being good enough.
