What I will remember most about my time at Bryn Mawr: The joy, community, and friendship I found through BMC traditions.
People I want to thank: I’m grateful for Dean Rose, and my professors in the Sociology department who helped me to follow my interests, and pushed me to do my best. I’d particularly like to thank Bridget Nolan for fostering my passion for the discipline, and Nathan Wright for being a great mentor along the way. Additionally, my time at Bryn Mawr would not have been the same without the relationships I made through my work with the Help Desk. To the full-time staff: thank you for making the Help Desk one of my favorite places on campus. Finally, thank you to my friends and classmates. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to work with and learn from such an incredible group of people.
