Intro: Erin Canino





Hello! I am a third year senior majoring in Political Science with a concentration in Pre-law. I am planning on attending law school and becoming an attorney. I grew up in Lake Tahoe, California, though I went to school in Nevada (Lake Tahoe lies on the state line). Because of this, I grew up learning how to ski and ice skate, water ski and wake surf, and chase the occasional bear out of my car with a loud frying pan and a broom. In high school I played soccer on the Varsity team and participated in many different clubs and organizations. I got to travel to the national We the People competition in Washington D.C. my senior year after my team won the state competition, which is how I really got interested in the legal field. After graduating high school and surviving eighteen years of shoveling endless feet of snow, I was ready to head down to the beach. I came to Cal Poly because I loved the area, and I have been having a great time ever since.  I am involved in many different clubs on campus and love that Cal Poly has so much to offer students. Some of my favorite positions that I serve are the Chief Panhellenic Officer of Kappa Alpha Theta, the President of the Undergraduate Law Society (hit me up in you’re interested in law school!), and one of the College of Liberal Arts representatives on the ASI Board of Directors. This year is exciting, as I will be completing my senior project and graduating in the spring. I also have the privilege of having my little brother, Sam, attend Cal Poly with me this year. I also have an older sister, Casey, who graduated last year from Cal State Fullerton with a BFA in musical theater. She is currently performing in Sacramento in a production called, “Next to Normal.” My parents are currently both teachers. My dad is an English teacher at the local high school, and my mom teaches Journalism at the community college in my area after she finished as Editor for two different newspapers in the area.
This is my first Honors Seminar and I am looking forward to getting started on our project!
