"You have given us yourself"

	Ones to Watch: Stephanie M. Denton '99C
Major:	Political science and religion joint major
Post-graduation plan:	Summer internship at the U.S. Department of Justice; law school at Harvard University or Stanford University
Career and life plan:	"I want to work as an attorney, maybe in the Department of Justice. I did my honors thesis on drug courts, which divert people convicted of drug-related crimes into treatment. That has gotten me interested in specialized courts."
Motto:	"Be active now, be friendly, be compassionate."
A major accomplishment at Emory:	"I brought back the yearbook and acted as executive director."
Emory's role in achieving her goals:	"Emory has been eye-opening in terms of cultural exposure. Coming from a rural public high school in Tennessee, I've enjoyed meeting people I wouldn't have met otherwise. I have learned as much through community service and talking to people as I've learned academically."
Most inspiring teacher and course:	Joyce Flueckiger, "Modern Hinduism." "That class expanded my worldview [and gave me] a deeper understanding of morality and ethics and life and death--everything that's important."
