"In high school I volunteered at DOROT, where I interned this summer, and found a community that is still very close to my heart today. Seeing that Bryn Mawr had so many volunteer initiatives and similar clubs like Adopt-A-Grandparent drew me to the school and ultimately helped me to make my decision to attend Bryn Mawr."

Serving Up Love in Wyndham
We had a self-uniting marriage on campus in the sunken garden in April 2018, our senior year. BMC was a great environment for us both, for me as a queer woman and for Liam who is trans masc.

Started Off Sorting Keys, Ended in Love
This day no love potion, no pre-made gifts, no across the room or campus eye contact. This time it was 8 hrs. 2,000 keys -- her and I.

Finding the Right Pulso
My first memory was seeing Nori skipping down the hallway. I saw her and felt little butterflies, seeing HER for the first time.

"I never thought of myself as a really independent person, but I feel like college really allows you to explore that."

"My college search wasn’t only about where I would get the most playing time or which team I liked the most—a lot of my decision was about the fact that I really liked Bryn Mawr as a school, I really liked the people here, and I wanted to be here whether or not I was playing soccer."
