I came to Lafayette wanting to make a difference, and I feel that Lafayette helped me to connect the dots. I got the tangible skills I needed to make a difference in my life and the lives of others.

I found the study of anthropology and sociology to be compelling. It offered me a view into the best potential that America has, and the power of community, and I appreciated having great professors who opened my eyes to the difference you can make in people’s lives if you provide them with the right surroundings and the right support.

The value of a Lafayette education is the diversity of experiences and perspectives you will gain, and I encourage all students to be open to the many opportunities that the College has to offer.

I appreciate Lafayette for making me a better person who can adapt to any situation or person. Everything I learned from my classes, football, and the people I met helped me transition smoothly when I stepped into the acting world and had to learn new skills and work with people from all backgrounds.

I've long felt that the beauty of a liberal arts college such as Lafayette is students’ ability to gain exposure over a wide range of study areas. This is no different in the Economics Department. These academic experiences, in conjunction with a dedicated and highly skilled faculty, help prepare students for a career in almost any business….

Lafayette challenged me intellectually and personally, and prepared me to be an active global citizen. I was an EXCEL Scholar with Professors Fluney Hutchinson and Ute Schumacher. They asked me what kinds of problems I wanted to devote my life to solving. That question still helps guide my daily work and my career decisions today.
