“I’m in the marching band… We spend so much time together, we went on so many trips together, we had so many great memories that it was a very nice community to be a part of, just because we had all of these great experiences together. We bonded over that. We just got closer. With […]
Student: “My plan is to go on to dental school, but we’ll see how that goes. I’ve wanted to be [a dentist] literally since I was teeny-tiny. I would play in everyone’s mouths. I was like, ‘I am going to be a dentist!’” Mom: “This is my baby, my last one to go… She had […]
“I remember when I first got here [as a student], I was terrified — and I can see it in their faces. I’m pretty sure I looked like that. Working [in New Student Programs] has just really shown me that we’re here for our students. When I’m done with this job, when school starts, I […]

[We interviewed you last fall! What’s changed for you since then?] “My confidence in myself. I was always confident in myself, but I wasn’t always sure I’d be ready to graduate. You know what?
