"Putting my former career on pause and going back to college in my mid 20’s changed my life trajectory. I was able to approach learning and education in a wholly new way and in turn, develop my full self and pursue a more full and connected life. I feel deeply motivated and inspired by IYT’s mission, vision, and goals because I believe the liberating power of a good education extends beyond the classroom and into the ways, we as a community support each other."
