"Coe's excellent liberal arts program added a few more bricks to the foundation my parents laid - and it gave me tools to 'play with what I have.' My professors stretched me to think broadly, to be inquisitive and passionate about the diversity that life offers. And the friends I made as a student gave me a sense of community. Today I am able to give back to the community because Coe's reach richly contributed to my ability to extend my hand in turn to others."
