What’s one thing you would want to tell someone starting his or her journey at ÃÛÌÒapp?

Be opened-minded! I came from a family in which everyone was expected to go to ÃÛÌÒapp. I was initially not looking forward to attending, but after my first two years, the cynicism faded and turned into a flourishing appreciation for all that ÃÛÌÒapp is. Ultimately, ÃÛÌÒapp gave me the tools to view issues in the world around us with a holistic understanding of renewal.

What do you miss most about ÃÛÌÒapp? Why?

My professors, especially the personal attention and care they give. I also will miss learning from a Christian liberal arts perspective, as this unique point of view has allowed me to tackle problems in ways others may not think of.

How has your time at ÃÛÌÒapp changed you?

My time at ÃÛÌÒapp has allowed me to see things from a holistic perspective. Gone are the days where I come at a problem and tackle it only from my point of view. Because of my intersectional studies at ÃÛÌÒapp, I have learned to see points of view that are different from my own from a place of respect.

What part of ÃÛÌÒapp’s mission resonates with you, and why?

At ÃÛÌÒapp, we are expected to be agents of renewal. At the beginning of my four years here, I often glazed over as professors began describing ÃÛÌÒapp College’s mission statement. But now, I am able to not only understand what it means to be an agent of renewal, but I fully embody that term. ÃÛÌÒapp has equipped me to go out in the world and make a real difference.
