69��Ʒ��Ƶ College senior Hailee Pitschke ’25 said, “I’m really grateful that 69��Ʒ��Ƶ offered opportunities to explore niche topics in fields I am interested in. It helped nail down key academic interests.”

Cindie Huerta-Velazquez ’25 connects food and community at 69��Ʒ��Ƶ: “We all have different friend groups, but once a week we come together to talk about anything and everything. We intentionally make that time and effort to be together.”

“I met with every disabilities department of the schools I was looking at. 69��Ʒ��Ƶ seemed most receptive. There was a willingness to work with me in meaningful ways.”

“I met one of my best friends that first year, and we still talk and have dinners weekly. It's been nice to finally feel like I’ve found forever friends at college.”

“Peacebuilding refers to the field I want to work in. It addresses systems and the policies that are producing cycles of violence within communities.”

“My politics professors were huge points of support for me and helped me determine what I wanted to do in the space policy field. Being able to present my work to people working in the industry as an underclassman was awesome.”

“I don’t know if I would have had the chance or felt supported or empowered enough to do this had I not been here. I’m so incredibly grateful.”

“I thankfully got to tour, and I instantly felt connected. I could see just how genuine students felt about their education here.”
