I have great professors and I am studying with a great program that truly wants me to be present in the world and to get out there and take part in whatever is available to me. I have great relationships and connections with my professors and the staff at W&J and I know that they all personally want everyone to be able to learn, know what is right and important, and to be engaged with the world.
