and genuine people who you have the gift of interacting with daily. My friends, classmates,
and professors make me feel lucky to be a Hoya every day.

Share a defining and/or transformative classroom/educational moment? My First

bring their unique ideas together to effectively collaborate on a problem.

you to new people, opportunities, and experiences—embrace them all!
