  • This past week I was able to again volunteer at the Hamilton Central School, and I was given the opportunity to meet some great kids and tutor them in Spanish. I’m so glad that I can continue to be a part of this project!

  • This past week was incredibly busy. I was able to meet all of my friends’ parents during Family Weekend and President Bill Clinton also visited campus, which was an awe-inspiring experience.

  • First and foremost, I must tell you about my weekend with a prospective student. I was immensely excited to host (as I’m sure you all knew), and the prospective student, Mabel, and I were a perfect match. We got along so well. I gave her a mini-tour of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø campus, I ate dinner with […]
