At Agnes Scott College, I received a unique education centered around the college’s mission statement:
“Agnes Scott College educates women to think deeply, live honorably and engage the intellectual and social challenges of their times.”
During my time in school, I participated in projects, travel, and professional experiences that define my education.
My first spring at Agnes Scott featured a course and study abroad trip that educated students on how to be a conscientious traveler and look beneath the surface. On my trip to Martinique, I examined the postcolonial impact on society, culture, and inequality.
The next spring lead me on an immersive internship experience at the Atlanta History Center. There, I worked with Public Programs and Education staff to generate fresh and exciting proposals for their annual Juneteenth programming.
In the spring semester of my junior year, I embarked on a semester long study abroad trip to Wellington, New Zealand. In my time there, I unlocked new perspectives on art, land, and community through my coursework and interpersonal connections.
My final year at Agnes Scott College was marked by the culmination of my academic experiences. I spent the year doing in depth art historical research focusing on the early career of artist Fred Wilson.
I chose Agnes Scott College in order to cultivate my growth as an inquisitive and passionate scholar. The culture on campus and in class provided a space for me to expand the possibilities of where I can go, what I can do, and how I can create change around me.
