Dr. Daggar has been a source of steadfast support and inspiration through her own experience in the field and researching. She puts the human in humanities, and I look forward to continuing this research beyond the Summer Fellows Program.
A special thank you is needed for Dr. Mellis, Dr. O, Dr. Throop, Dr. Chao, Professor Schandler, and Professor Adrian. The flexibility, faith, and support the department has provided laid the foundation for me to grow into the scholar I am today.
Thank you to all of my fellow Summer Fellows for making the 8-week program a wonderful experience! Whether it be a Stranger Things marathon night or debating over which Crumbl cookie tastes the best, the shenanigans helped balance the workload tremendously.
Dad, Mom, Connor, Lawrence, and Ethan: Thank you for your belief and support in my scholarship. Nana and Grandpop, your life as educators instilled the importance teaching is and has led me to becoming a historian. MomMom and PopPop, thank you for teaching me the importance of connecting and supporting your local community.
Thank you to all my friends back at Cherry Hill for your continued support! From historical discussions in Wawa parking lots and being "Drained" to pick-up basketball and making me laugh no matter how tough things get, your friendships mean the world to me! Stay groovy y'all!
