What is special or excites you about the Taubman community?
The people I have met throughout both of my programs have been integral to my experience as a student. There are also a wide variety of perspectives, academic backgrounds, and life experiences that we can share with one another.

If applicable, tell us about studio culture – what is inspiring or innovative or unique?

What do you like most about being part of the Ann Arbor community?
Despite being a larger city, Ann Arbor is very small community-wise. It’s very interconnected, and there’s a lot to explore.

What advice would you give prospective students as they consider Taubman College?
Your experience is what you make of it. There are a lot of great opportunities for students, and there are a lot of directions you can go in. Don’t be afraid to explore them, and don’t be afraid to change directions as well.
