Frank Wotton (Frankie) is a part of the class of 2022 at SLU. He is working on a double major in mathematics and philosophy, and has particular interests in the intersection of the traditional Anglo-American analytic tradition and traditions unique to other parts of the world such as the European continent and North America.
