Undergraduate Faculty Mentor

David Youkey

Office: Hellems 164B

I am the faculty undergraduate mentor.  I teach in the department, I am here to discuss questions about which philosophy classes might be interesting to take, questions about what different faculty are like, questions about graduate study in philosophy, for advice on how to convince your parents that being a philosophy major really is a good idea, or maybe just for a reading recommendation or to discuss a philosophical idea.  I am also the person who approves the "Allied Fields" requirement for those on the Values and Social Policy Track of the major. 
 
My office is in Hellems 164B.  You can email me at david.youkey@colorado.edu to make an appointment.
