è����˶���Ƶ College student Oluwafadeyemi Testimony Akinkuolie-Ibidapo ’27 went from volunteering at last year’s Trailblazers of Color Leadership Conference to becoming one of this year’s organizers.

“è����˶���Ƶ taught me that there isn’t one right way to be a student or live your life. My classmates weren’t my competition. They were my support system. This allowed me to reflect on what I want.”

“I remember a professor saying that studying physics is studying problem-solving, and that stuck with me. My studying hasn’t been just to memorize material but instead to teach me to ask, ‘How do I approach complex problems and come up with out-of-the-box solutions?’”

“I definitely feel like I’ve really built such a great community here. Besides my lab and my team, I have made so many friends from different classes and different events. I feel like my community is so large here.”

“è����˶���Ƶ has truly prepared me for this next step. My professional experience and coursework at the College taught me how to apply these concepts in the real world to effect change. My experience has given me the confidence to go and do that.”

“The supportive environment and focus on people and humanity at è����˶���Ƶ prepared me for the next steps of my career, which will also focus on the well-being of humanity.”

“I wanted the possibility to pursue interests in a lot of different areas without feeling like I needed to choose one track. è����˶���Ƶ has given me the opportunities to do that. I’ve always felt like a whole student at è����˶���Ƶ.”
