What does EOP/MAP mean to you?

EOP means so much to me. It helps me when I am frustrated with school and lifts me up when I accomplish something I’ve been working for.

What’s your most invaluable experience at Purchase?

During my first year at Purchase, the school helped me get into a wonderful university in Mexico. They never once doubted that I would get in, and they helped my confidence so much. I am proud to soon be a Purchase alum.
