Between 1994 and 1996, I had the opportunity to be in the department of the master's program. Having the chance to be around such distinguished scholars as David Soren, Albert Leonard Jr., and Mary Voyatzis changed the way I look at life and archaeology. Campus life was great. It was also a great opportunity for me to benefit from wonderful people in the Near-Eastern Studies and Anthropology departments. It was the best two years of my life that I would like to go back to.
