I’m Samantha Sheppard, I’m a Ph.D student in Cinema Media Studies, class of 2013.
I will be the first person in my family to get a college degree, a Masters degree, and
Ph.D. I love watching movies and going for long
runs in Westwood. And I love wearing obnoxiously loud and colorful necklaces. I think its important
to leave UCLA a better than when i came. So I cocreated and cofounded a student run
organization called elevate which is interested in sharing the creative stories and scholarly
works of persons of color I love James Bridges’ Theater in Melnitz
hall, it’s like you get to come to campus to go to the movies
The idea that UCLA starts with you means that together, and yet as individuals, we make
UCLA a premier learning, teaching and service institution.
I can’t wait to be a college professor and teach Film history and theory to students
like me. I know UCLA is an amazing university because
of the generosity of our donors, and for that, I truly thank you.
