“My time at Columbia has shown me that nothing is more important than supporting those around you. You get so much further in life by uplifting and supporting your peers rather than trying to compete with and get ahead of them. Columbia inspires students to build a community of encouragement in which we are all able to thrive, and I will go forward in my life beyond graduation cherishing that community and seeking to build that kind of foundation wherever I go.”
