Since B4USoar, I’ve been focusing on my academics and my film projects, and recently was able to do a documentary on Philadelphia Mayoral Candidate Cherelle Parker. My freshman year at Temple has been a rewarding experience and I wanted to say thank you for the doors you have opened for me during my transition into college.

“The class was the most impactful class due to its unique structure - the class met twice a week, and it was half Temple students and half Philadelphia high school students! We got to interact with high schoolers from the community, and it was a class with a ton of creative freedom. Our class occurred during a time of intense social unrest due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and our professor permitted us to all work together to create and execute a fundraiser on-campus in support of Ukraine. We created different booths featuring baked goods, games and student art, and executed it all by the end of the semester at the Bell Tower. It was wonderful to have what started as broad ideas, turned into an actual event, and was a positive experience all around.”
