I first looked into doing my master’s at Skidmore because of my experience as an undergraduate here—I know what this school means. I wanted to study the aesthetics of worship, and a graduate program with such a focus didn’t exist. Skidmore gave me the chance to create the program I really wanted.

My education has changed what I mean by the words I use; it's made them richer, more textured. I take less for granted; I don't glide past things like I used to. I was a thoughtful person before I started the program, but now I read things and connect with them in a totally different way.

''I feel like I’ve been given all the provisions I need for the journey I’m taking. And the lighthouse is up there, shining. But I’m not tied to it. My advisors trust me to do good work. They’re there when I need help, but they’re not going to tell me where I have to go. Finally, I’m the only one who can decide that.''

Here, the process is as important as the outcome. It's like the difference between a meal you cook with your friends and a meal that you go out to eat at a restaurant. They could both be excellent meals, but the one you cooked is more satisfying. It matters that you made it.
