/by amelia boehAmanda Tang transferred to UCLA in the Fall of 2021 from Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California where she received her Associate’s degrees in Business Administration, Economics, Sociology, Liberal Studies, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. She is now a Senior majoring in Sociology and minoring in Education. For the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program, she researches how politics and education intersect in the United States.

Her hope with this project is to better understand the education system and students’ experiences in it in order to implement a stronger “love for learning” within students today.
