“Swarthmore was, and is, a magical place to me, filled with diverse, inspiring, brilliant people connected by making a difference. If you take the time to be present with other students, it will often broaden your entire perspective. I saw several people do this really well at Swarthmore; I saw how much they got out of listening. That helped me to become a better listener, whichhas proved very important in my life since.”
