Despite being in the middle of preparations for finals and the end of the semester, faculty, staff, and most importantly the students I met that day proactively went out of their way to make me feel welcome.

    Aside from that in person gut feeling, I was drawn to the multidisciplinary academic paths students could pursue, the university’s history of activism, and the eclectic student body that is hard to describe in any other word.

    The Wesleyan community is quite extensive and you can find Wes alums changing the world or being leaders in their domains, all whilst pursuing their passions. I knew this would be a place that would make me challenge conventions, expose me to a plethora of new perspectives, and teach me how to think more critically—both inside and outside of the classroom.
