Cody Nienhuis (’23)My professors inspire me both academically and personally, being understanding, knowledgeable and equipping us with tools and skills to change our lives both now and in the future. I am a different person than I was when I came, and the growth I’ve gone through because of the community and professors is something I’m so grateful for.
