Q&A: 

Panhellenic Council: What has been your favorite class at DePauw? Why? 
Danielle Wenning: Tattoos, Torture, and Adornment with Rebecca Upton for my FYS. It really changed my mindset in terms of how I view the world and others in it. It made me think critically about how different societies, and thus myself as part of a society, perceive and interpret certain actions and practices. Hooray for critical thinking! :) 

PC: What makes you successful in your academics? 
DW: I am a self-motivator so I like to plan out what I'm going to accomplish and when, then make sure I follow through. It's just a matter of personal responsibility for me.
