ABOUT CYRUS

Cyrus Shafiei smiling

Cyrus' regions are: Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Where are you from?
Houston, Texas

Do you have a favorite place in Tacoma?
I think my favorite place in Tacoma is Dune Peninsula, right near Point Ruston. The views of Mount Rainier, the Olympics, the Cascades, and the Sound are some of the best in the city.

Name a class at Puget Sound you are interested in, but haven’t taken.
Yoga, Psychedelics, and Mind Science. I took one religious studies course at the end of my senior year, and looking back, I would love to have taken more!

What is a book that has been influential for you?
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. I read it for my fall semester Seminar in Scholarly Inquiry my first year at Puget Sound. It really shaped the entirety of my experience and my approach to life.
