What I'll miss most: The intellectual environment of Union. I’ve met and been challenged by so many great minds here.
Advice for incoming students: Take advantage of everything Union has to offer. Join or start clubs, go to professors’ office hours, and especially take advantage of research opportunities. It’s pretty rare to be given the opportunity and support to pursue your curiosities.
