- “Because I was able to get a liberal arts education, I was able to get into these pockets of communities. I was able to go to events at the Rose O’Neill Literary House, go to theatre events, and listen to visiting speakers on campus for computer science. I was able to interact with very different people over time and get these different aspects and perspectives of life and education. I fell into these different fields that fit into each other at times.”
