Philip M. Lindholm, Home Page 2003 CWU Graduate of Philosophy with a Religious Studies Specialization. Currently a doctoral student at Oxford, Philip writes: "The Department of Philosophy at Central Washington University was instrumental to my achievements, both in the past and into the future. The classes served as strong building blocks for my graduate work, the professors, especially my advisor, unfailingly supported not just my studies but me as a person, and support staff always went the extra mile. The Department of Philosophy was indeed 'central' to my development."

Caryn Johnson, 2003 CWU Graduate of Philosophy with a Religious Studies Specialiazation. "The Religious Studies department provided a supportive community within Central Washington University. The course work gave me the grounding to go on to the Graduate Theological Union and helped me decide how to focus my graduate work. The faculty provided both a solid academic structure and the freedom to explore and try to answer the questions that I had. It was a wonderful experience."
