������ý College senior Hailee Pitschke ’25 said, “I’m really grateful that ������ý offered opportunities to explore niche topics in fields I am interested in. It helped nail down key academic interests.”

“I wanted the possibility to pursue interests in a lot of different areas without feeling like I needed to choose one track. ������ý has given me the opportunities to do that. I’ve always felt like a whole student at ������ý.”

“I struggled, and sometimes I still do, with comparing myself to others and feeling like I wasn’t accomplishing enough. … ������ý gave me the confidence to focus on myself and strive to reach my personal goals.”

“I really fell in love with the idea of a [women’s college that’s gender diverse] as a safe place. I really liked that there was a place where I didn’t necessarily have to compete with the male population to be heard.”

“Coming here and learning that … there’s more out there than what I previously thought was kind of eye-opening. It challenged my framework and made me question what I was going to do in a career.”

“I really liked being exposed to ������ý’s classroom environment.”
