Community and collaboration
“During my college search, I knew I wanted to attend a liberal arts college where I could study music.”
“Additionally, I wanted to go to a place where students felt excited for their classmates’ achievements, not threatened by them. Ӱ̳ students take care of each other and themselves. Everyone has high expectations for what I can achieve. And, in turn, my own expectations for myself have increased.”
“There’s a poster in Dwight Hall with a map of the world ‘upside-down.’ I think that sums up how the Ӱ̳ community tries to think critically about the global world. We’re always questioning our assumptions and trying to decentralize the U.S. as our ‘default.’”
