Prospective student?

Through the English department, I’ve been introduced to so many new texts that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. I enjoy that my classes have tried to center a broad range of authors in terms of class, gender, and race. The fact that the professors make a conscious effort to teach a diverse variety of works has really enriched my experience.

— Joshua Ripple, BA Class of 2019
