“I knew that something I wanted in a community was to feel part of something bigger than myself, and that’s here at ůůֱ��.”

"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 ůůֱ�� as a school, I really liked the people here, and I wanted to be here whether or not I was playing soccer."

"At ůůֱ��, 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 ůůֱ�� 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 ůůֱ�� made me excited to become a student here."

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

"Art is one of my passions, as is art education, and ůůֱ�� 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 ůůֱ��’s history, specifically on students of color, diversity, and how that’s looked throughout time."

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