Luke Sugie

Hi! I'm currently in the
second year of graduate school, working towards a Master of Arts in Applied
Ethics, through the Philosophy Department. I'm interested in working with ethics
in engineering practice around issues of inclusiveness, social justice and
ecology. As an undergraduate at OSU I earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemical
Engineering and worked as a Coordinator in the Pride
Center. I love working with the
Cultural Centers, and am excited that my GTA position allows me to work with
them again.
