Where have you found community and support on campus?

I am the music director of an acapella group here on campus and I have loved being part of that group for the past 4 years! They really have become my best friends and I am very grateful to have such a supportive group of people in my life! I often find support in my workplaces as well, as all of my coworkers and supervisors want to see the best for me and I want to see that for them as well!
