Your Fellow Students
One of the best
part of Transforming Communities is the people you meet. They are your
colleagues, your sounding board, your support network. Each week you will
have both formal and informal discussions with them.

…my peers and I engaged in student-led discussion groups, in which we
attempted to clarify the issues and analyze policies and solutions. In a
sense, my class was its own community. As a diverse group consisting of
people from different parts of the country and of different cultures, we,
too, experienced some conflicts with each other but learned to respect
each other’s views. My classmates and I developed nicknames for
ourselves: The Transformers.”

You will grow
close to them and appreciate all they bring to the program.
“To my fellow
transformers, I just wanted to
say, before we all head home and in our separate directions, that I am so
honored to have had the chance to meet and work with you all this
semester. there's not one of you who hasn't changed my life in one way or
another. Thank you for making me think, for making me change my mind and
most of all, for making me grow as a person.”
Christina Morgan, Lafayette College
You will
continue to network with them as you pursue your careers.
“Since our semester
together I have realized that you, along with others I have met along the
way, are all part of a community of community transformers that (believe
it or not) I will always depend on for greater inspiration and support.”
Ian Willey, College of Wooster, Teach for America
