鈥淢ASP gives us a sense of community and it feels like one big family.鈥澨�鈥撎�Jubilee and Dayzy

2019 Mini-PEAC Students Laughing Together

鈥淚n MASP, I feel like I am in an environment where I am accepted. There is no judgment about my ethnicity or any other part of my background. Instead, it is a place where I have met some of my best friends that I hope to keep even after college.鈥澨�鈥撎�Zoe

鈥淢y favorite part about MASP is the community it provides me. I know that I will always have a network of support from my peers and the faculty. MASP has given me a place where I feel like I can fit in no matter what.鈥澨�鈥撎�Veronica

PEAC 2020 cohort posing for a group photo

鈥淎s a first year student I joined PEAC with the expectation that I would gain the knowledge I needed to survive college. What I was not expecting was to find myself surrounded by a supportive network of faculty, staff, and students that not only created an atmosphere conducive to my social and personal growth, but remained unwavering in encouraging my intellectual development as well.鈥�
