These friendships have made DePauw feel like a home away from home.

Making Connections

It is impossible for me to nail down one time when I knew DePauw was where I was supposed to be because I’ve had so many incredible experiences. The friends that I’ve made at DePauw are one-of-a-kind, authentic, funny, caring and absolutely exceptional people. These friendships have made DePauw feel like a home away from home. I’ve also had so many faculty and staff members who have supported, encouraged and pushed me, not only as a student, but as a person, and I will forever be grateful to them.

Majors: Biochemistry and sociology

Involvement: First-year resident assistant; Relay for Life event leadership team treasurer; Students of Color in STEM; Best Buddies DePauw; Non-Food Pantry of Putnam County coordinator; Restorative Justice trained mediator
