�������ϲʿ���app

In celebration of Earth Day, �������ϲʿ���app College welcomed Alexis Nikole Nelson to campus as she demonstrated to students, staff and faculty how foraging is not only good for the environment but also beneficial for one’s health.

“I met one of my best friends that first year, and we still talk and have dinners weekly. It's been nice to finally feel like I’ve found forever friends at college.”

“I talk with friends who are not �������ϲʿ���app students, and they have limited research experience. But here, I’ve done research with two advisors in two different departments.”

“Whether you're leading a project, whether you're running an experiment, whether you're working with a team, patience is very important. There are so many ways where the solution to the problem is just … seeing what the next move you can take is.”

“Being around people who have similar cultures and getting to know other cultures, I really enjoyed that. Mi Gente was like another family, basically.”

“When I talked to people at �������ϲʿ���app, it was very inviting, very supportive. They valued my perspective and what I brought to the table. I talked about being Black [and] being in education, and they valued that perspective.”

“I thought it was great to learn more about political actors. It was really interesting to learn more about how political actors have this power. How they’re able to change policy and, by doing so, change so many people’s lives.”

“The team culture has challenged a lot of how I view sport and community. Win or lose, the team had a really positive impact on my growth as a person: I learned how to do things at my own pace and tried new things that might have sounded scary.”

“The �������ϲʿ���app riding team has completely changed my life. My time with the program gave me what I needed to melt into the rest of the campus culture and confirmed that I had made the right decision to come to �������ϲʿ���app.”

“I got to sit in on a rehearsal in Rooke Theatre, and that’s what drew me to �������ϲʿ���app. I thought, ‘This is amazing. I’ll get to work with real professionals and very talented, smart, knowledgeable people.”
