Even though Salem is a small college, it challenges you to be a part of something big. In the classroom, in student organizations, in your dorm—you are empowered with the opportunity to decide what you think and what you have to offer. But more than this, Salem challenges young women to define how we can contribute to our community and to our world.
When I first started my graduate studies, it was a little intimidating to know most of my classmates did their undergraduate work at some of the most prestigious universities in the world. I soon realized that due to the small class size at Salem and the one-on-one interactions I had had with my professors, I was able to tackle even the most challenging courses with confidence. And I also naturally approached the knowledge I was gaining with a question in my mind of how I could translate it to my career in the future.
