I chose applied liberal arts because it provides a strong foundation in communication, critical thinking, and problem solving—essential skills for my career goal in community development and inclusive leadership. RIT is the ideal place for me to grow academically and socially because it offers outstanding accessibility, an inclusive environment where deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing students learn together, world-class faculty, and hands-on learning opportunities.
