What was your most memorable moment or time at F&M?

What did you enjoy most about the College?
The collaborative atmosphere between my peers and professors. I have taken many classes that were quite small, which provided a comfortable class environment and led to engaging discussions.
What are your plans for after graduation?
This summer I'll be an intern at a law firm in Harrisburg, and in the fall I will attend Duke University School of Law.
