“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 Ӱ̳, 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 Ӱ̳ 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 Ӱ̳.”
“I got to sit in on a rehearsal in Rooke Theatre, and that’s what drew me to Ӱ̳. I thought, ‘This is amazing. I’ll get to work with real professionals and very talented, smart, knowledgeable people.”
“Being part of the dance team, I get so immersed that I just let all of my stress and anxiety go away because you have to move and jump so much from one part of the room to another, and you work with amazing dancers that go along with it.”
“Active learning is specifically learning which is more hands-on, you could say, and which involves more student participation. The student takes an active position in their own learning.”
“I cannot imagine what my life could have been like without Ӱ̳,” she said. “Be it academics, internships, extracurricular activities, community, friendships and interests, Ӱ̳ beautifully helped me tie a lot of these things together and become a better and more confident person.”
“Being an English major taught me how to choose my words, learn to know which words to use and which words will make a more empathetic listener. That skill was something I needed.”
