���Ҵ�ý

Six ���Ҵ�ý College faculty members have been selected as recipients of the Marion and Jasper Whiting Foundation Fellowship. The awards will fund travel to further advance their studies, leading to increased opportunities for students.

“I met with every disabilities department of the schools I was looking at. ���Ҵ�ý seemed most receptive. There was a willingness to work with me in meaningful ways.”

“I met one of my best friends that first year, and we still talk and have dinners weekly. It's been nice to finally feel like I’ve found forever friends at college.”

“Here at ���Ҵ�ý, my professors taught me that there’s a way to combine different academic disciplines to tackle complex, difficult problems. They offered me so much mentorship, inclusivity and communication.”

“���Ҵ�ý taught me that there isn’t one right way to be a student or live your life. My classmates weren’t my competition. They were my support system. This allowed me to reflect on what I want.”

“When I talked to people at ���Ҵ�ý, it was very inviting, very supportive. They valued my perspective and what I brought to the table. I talked about being Black [and] being in education, and they valued that perspective.”

“I found a program that seemed like it was catered for me. It was unbelievable. The fact that it was for experienced K–8 math teachers was very unique. Then when I got here, it was even more eye-opening.”

“I remember a professor saying that studying physics is studying problem-solving, and that stuck with me. My studying hasn’t been just to memorize material but instead to teach me to ask, ‘How do I approach complex problems and come up with out-of-the-box solutions?’”

“I definitely feel like I’ve really built such a great community here. Besides my lab and my team, I have made so many friends from different classes and different events. I feel like my community is so large here.”

“���Ҵ�ý has truly prepared me for this next step. My professional experience and coursework at the College taught me how to apply these concepts in the real world to effect change. My experience has given me the confidence to go and do that.”
