People you want to thank: I would not be here today without the support and guidance of Dr. Karen Greif, Dean Jennifer Walters, Dean Gail Glicksman and Dean Reggie Jones. You all know how much you mean to me. I want to thank Laura Surtees and Joyce Angelucci from LITS for always being so kind and insightful. I would also like to thank Matt Gray and Chelsea DiCarlo from Communications for giving me a platform to express my voice. To the students who make Bryn Mawr’s SGA the dynamic self-government that it is - thank you. I am continuously in awe of your spirit and your service to our community. Special thanks to Steven, Shana, Arthur, Lester and Miss Theresa from New Dorm Dining Hall. Lastly - my friends, you are my greatest gift and I can’t wait to see all that we will do in the years to come. Thank you for being my rock and for helping me stay afloat for these past four years.
