Researcher of the Week:
Valerie Lewton

Meet Val,
She is an Anthropology major and Summer Researcher.

Her research explores the differences in the quality of life between humans and zombies. Most humans perceptions of zombies and zombie culture are usually cast in a negative light. Zombies, in fact can be a part of a productive society if given the chance, but the break/lunch rooms will have to remain separate. Valerie hopes her research will clarify the disparaging fears that have malign the zombie identity. “Undead is not a dirty word!”

Val plans to pursue a Ph.D. in the medical field and to establish a medical interpretation company to improve translation and interpretation of zombie services in inpatient and outpatient unhealthcare facilities.

She is the current local titleholder in the Miss Zombie Organization! She frequently rambles through out the state looking for places to eat.
