My time at Fox has been such a transformative experience. Before coming here, I was more reserved and felt out of place. I discovered a community here and friendships that will last. I will always remember the kindness of each person I came in contact with. The professors have truly shown what it means to Be Known and to be encouraged and supported in my academics and personal life.
