Because the power of connections is crucial to helping students challenge themselves to reach new heights academically and personally.

Because experiential learning makes learning meaningful and engaging, sparking curiosity through hands-on projects both in and out of the classroom.

Because having regular opportunities to challenge oneself within a compassionate and supportive community builds confidence to take risks and express oneself.
