What was a favorite class project you completed while at W&J?

“My favorite class project was writing a philosophical dialogue with a close friend! It was such a creative way to finish out the semester, and it got us really excited about what we had learned.”

What or whom was your favorite class or professor? Why?

My favorite class was ENG 250: Plantation Women, Black and White, with Dr. Jennifer Harding. Dr. Harding’s teaching style was one of my favorites, and the stories she chose were an outstanding fit for the class.

What are you most proud of doing while at W&J?

Firstly, I’m proud of passing all my classes during COVID. Secondly, I’m proud that I pushed myself to work hard every year, even when it was difficult. As a Congolese student who had never experienced an American College, it was not easy for me. Many people thought that I wouldn’t be able to make it, but I did. English is my fourth language, but I had many professors who believed in me and helped me, like Dr Manzari, Dr. Leet, and Dr Buba. I am very grateful for them, the staff at W&J, and my friends.
