Elizabeth Zelinsky "Start looking at what clubs you may want to be a part of towards the end of the summer! [It's] an amazing way to find a community on campus..." 
- Elizabeth Zelinsky

Will Flanagan "[Global Studies] is an interdisciplinary major that requires me to take classes in [different] departments. It's also a very customizable major. Since I am interested in international politics and business, I can take classes that concentrate more on those topics." 
- Will Flanagan

Elisa Ciappi "Studying is important, but nothing has fulfilled me more than being able to grow alongside encouraging, passionate individuals who make me a better person and gave me opportunities to develop personally and professionally." 
- Elisa Ciappi
