Anna’s M.S. Milestone: Thesis Complete, Honors Received

By: Anna Medlin

This April marked a major milestone — I successfully defended my master’s thesis, “Where You Stand Depends on Where You Sit”: The Role of Agenda-Setting and Framing in Interpretive Theme Development.

Also in this final semester at the University of Idaho, I was incredibly honored to receive both the College of Natural Resources Outstanding M.S. Student Award and the 2024–2025 University-Wide Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) Outstanding Graduate Student Award.

I’m deeply grateful for all I’ve accomplished throughout this graduate journey — it’s been a truly life changing experience, and one I’ll carry with me as I move forward in my professional career, in Hawaii!
