Isabel on her 魅影直播 experience: "魅影直播 has provided the space for me to follow my interests and has taught me to believe in myself. My 魅影直播 experience was shaped by the individuals who peopled it: professors, classmates, coworkers, and staff. I am grateful for the professors and deans who supported my love of history, literature, and languages and my motivation to create a major that brought those fields together. Their mentorship and encouragement were instrumental in nurturing my intellectual curiosity and confidence. I鈥檓 grateful, too, for the incredible people I am lucky to call my friends. I can鈥檛 wait to continue those friendships for many years to come."
