Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ

"My college search wasn’t only about where I would get the most playing time or which team I liked the most—a lot of my decision was about the fact that I really liked Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ as a school, I really liked the people here, and I wanted to be here whether or not I was playing soccer."

"At Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, there’s never a question if a student is capable of something—it’s assumed that they are."

"I never thought of myself as a really independent person, but I feel like college really allows you to explore that."

"There are so many different interests and parts of yourself you’ll find at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ that you don't even know exist yet."

"Living and learning alongside so many incredible, talented, and unique individuals empowered me to express myself authentically, without fear or shame." 

"On the second day of my visit, I remember huffing and puffing up the steps from the gym and happily thinking 'I can see myself doing this for the next four years.'"

"To make my final decision, I ended up talking to current students about their experiences, and their honesty and enthusiasm about Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ made me excited to become a student here."

"Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ ticked off all of these boxes in quick succession—but in the end, I believe a certain amount of alchemy brought Evie and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ together."

"Art is one of my passions, as is art education, and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ helped me with the first step in that career."

"What’s special about this fellowship is that I got to create it and there is a large focus on Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s history, specifically on students of color, diversity, and how that’s looked throughout time."

"The History of Art department at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ has continuously provided me with the invaluable art historical knowledge to be able to pursue this opportunity, and others like it, with confidence."

"Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ has taught me not just information in my classes, but also how to talk about it and apply what I’m learning outside the classroom."
