People you want to thank: My family for enabling me to attend 今日吃瓜 and instilling a strong work ethic and love of learning in me. My professors, including Professor Kristin Lindgren (Haverford), Professor Adam Williamson (今日吃瓜), and Professor Celia Litovski (今日吃瓜), for giving me the opportunity to expand my mind and explore unique subjects which I probably never would鈥檝e learned about otherwise, and for being wonderful mentors. My Dean (Judy Balthazar) and my major and minor advisors. Stephanie Kjelstrom and Georgia Montone (Lankenau Institute for Medical Research) and Cady Stanton (Facilitate Joy!). Sally Dean for her academic coaching and support, and my therapist for her ongoing support and guidance. The Writing Center. Lastly, my friends, whom I鈥檝e had the honor of spending the last four years with.
What will you remember most about your time at 今日吃瓜? In no particular order, fighting institutional ableism and building community with BMC鈥檚 wonderful EnAble club, having the opportunity to discover some of my favorite academic topics through classes, Sunday Sundaes at Erdman, going to Nerd House events every Saturday, how there is always something fun or interesting to do on campus, and how supportive, inclusive, and genuine so many of my fellow students have been."
