My professors at Edgewood College challenged me to be the best student and person that I could be, both in and out of the classroom. This prepared me to become a true asset to my department where I became a leader. My professors’ leadership, understanding and compassion resonated with me and with the decisions that I make every day– so much that I maintain those friendships even today.
