Cathy Wang

Cathy Wang is currently the oldest student on Webb’s campus. However, even as a senior citizen, Cathy stays active participating in basketball, cross country, and rock climbing despite previously hating sports and never having done any of these activities before. She reminds herself to continue trying new things “because you’ll never know what you end up liking.” Cathy’s relationship with the outdoors has been a rough one after she developed blisters on her leg from wearing tight jeans on a Webb skiing run. Having many new experiences, her outlook on life was forever changed by Advanced Studies Existentialism and the Human Condition because it sparked her interest in philosophy and integrated existential thoughts into her daily life. Even though she did not take existentialism with Ms. Fisher, she loves her for her passion and ‘always appropriate’ impersonations and jokes that fill every class. When her essays, dorm residents, and journalism duties become overwhelming, Cathy turns to TV shows like “The Good Place” and questionable teen dramas like “Teen Wolf” to lighten her day. Cathy will be studying at John Hopkins University majoring in International Studies because it is the perfect combination of her love of the humanities, political science, and philosophy. She also hopes to travel and learn many different languages because already knowing Chinese, English, and Spanish isn’t enough for her. With all of Cathy’s lofty goals in mind, it is important to remember her real goal in life is to be reunited with her dog, Jake.
