The Margaret Boyd Scholars Program is near and dear to my heart because it provides the type of mentorship and support I wish I would have had when I was a student. To me, the most rewarding part of being a faculty member is getting to know students on a personal level, challenging them to set big goals, and cheering for them as they chase their dreams; I am excited to get to know each cohort of MBSP, to learn and grow together, and continue this strong community as a legacy of Margaret Boyd.

I love the opportunity to connect with students and support them in their educational journey. Watching a first-year student come into the program and then see them walk across the stage at Commencement is exciting. So much has happened in between those two points and the support of the MBSP can make a big difference.

I'm involved with the Margaret Boyd Scholars Program because I have seen "women and non-binary spaces" help to provide a supportive place for students to thrive. The program helps students foster a sense of self, grow leadership skills, develop intellectual curiosity, and work toward empowering others.

With a background in Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, I am thrilled to be part of the Margaret Boyd Scholars Program! Helping students explore and understand gender and its intersections, and supporting women and female identifying students pursuing their goals is both personally and professionally rewarding to me. The MBSP provides critically important opportunities for these students to grow, learn, develop and flourish.
