"The sheer spectrum of opportunities available at Coe is mind boggling, but what struck me from the beginning was that they’re ALL available to EVERY student. I took advantage of as many as possible and now, having graduated, I can say honestly that it was these opportunities - the chance to take a broad spectrum of classes, study and travel abroad, compete as a DIII athlete, take part in internships and research projects - that set me apart. My Coe experience was never confined to a classroom; instead, the classroom became a springboard for opportunities that existed elsewhere. Coe College provided me with the building blocks to create a foundation I am confident will continue to serve me well."
