Next year, I will be a philosophy Ph.D. student at Rice University!
Four years ago, a Ph.D. would have been beyond my wildest dreams. But with Grinnell’s reputation as a feeder school; its solid track record of placing students into accomplished graduate programs; and my professors’ words of encouragement, support, and advice, I am more than ready to take the next big leap in my life.
I am extremely grateful to have spent my time at a college that has empowered me as a human, student, and scholar. Amid any uncertainty, I’ve gained a healthy appreciation for going with the flow and trusting that I have the ability and the network to get back up.
I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me!
