\"EmilieFrom Classroom to House of Commons<\/h3>\n

Emilie Lanthier\u2019s foray into Canadian politics through Daughters of the Vote is but one of her many accomplishments. At Carleton University, she is a successful and engaged student, and she credits a lot of her growth to the meaningful relationships she cultivated as an undergrad.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy experience at Carleton has been stellar. Carleton has offered me a superb academic experience \u2013 one that was also tempered by a personal aspect that you can\u2019t always get at bigger universities. There\u2019s a warm, encouraging, community vibe,\u201d says Lanthier.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe History Department, in particular, has always been tremendously helpful and supportive, which goes a long way as you deal with the daily pressure of being a university student.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI often speak with my friends who attend other universities, and the fruitful personal relationships I\u2019ve made with faculty seem like a feature mostly unique to Carleton.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carleton\u2019s First-Year Seminars Uncovered her Love of Fashion<\/h3>\n

Another feature mostly unique to Carleton is the First-Year Seminar<\/a> (FYSM) courses \u2014 small classes devised to allow first-year students the opportunity to discuss and research topics of interest in a particular subject area. While most university students are not afforded this collaborative and intimate setting until third or fourth-year, Carleton BA students get this chance as soon as they begin post-secondary.<\/p>\n

Lanthier believes taking the FYSM class Empire and Imperialism taught by history professor Chinnaiah Jangam<\/a> helped prepare her to exceed expectations as a university student.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing herded into these huge 500 person classrooms can be a bit daunting. Taking an FYSM helped me adapt to the post-secondary lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not only did her FYSM help acclimatize her to university life, but it allowed her to discover her research passion \u2014 the study of art, artifacts, and clothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always loved fashion and material culture. I use it as a way to express myself and be creative, so to learn that this was a possible area of inquiry for my academic career was monumental for me,\u201d says Lanthier.<\/p>\n

For anyone who has met Lanthier, her zealousness for fashion, culture, and art is very obvious. History Professor Susan Whitney recalls the time Lanthier made a presentation in her class on Paris in the Jazz Age<\/a> wearing a black dress that she deliberately chose as an homage to Coco Chanel. \u201cShe really would not have looked out of place in 1920s Paris,\u201d remarks Prof. Whitney.<\/p>\n

Throughout her undergraduate degree, Lanthier strategically took courses which correlated with her interest, and as she did so, she came to realize that in researching fashion, a lot can be understood about the broader social context in a given period \u2014 from politics to economic systems, to social change.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
