Jessica Dofelmire 
Major: Political Science 
Minors: Legal Studies, Contemporary Dance 
Graduation: April 2022 

I am a lover of politics, law, sports, dance, reading, the outdoors, delicious food, and great film.

What do you do differently than most people? 
I usually read the last paragraph of a book before I read it all the way through. I know some people are disturbed by this.

Why did you decide to join the Honors Program? 
I wanted to be challenged academically and intellectually at BYU. The Honors Program seemed like—and is—the best place to find those challenges.

What has been your favorite part of your Honors Experience? 
I have enjoyed connecting seemingly unrelated ideas and topics. It is interesting to see how these connections can be applied to and explain every day occurrences. I feel that the Honors Experience has helped me to change my way of thinking about problems; I am always trying to find unexpected connections and solutions now.

What is your next step in Honors? 
I am choosing a thesis topic right now (ahhh) and building my thesis committee. I hope to finish it by the end of this summer and defend it next fall!
