Student Voice

Helen LeiNani Highland-Coslow

“I’ve been exposed to so much here, age differences, gender differences, cultural differences, religious differences, political differences, and it’s all been so wonderfully rich and illuminating. I think it’s so important that women see the work of other women and get inspired by that work.”
