Senior Reflection: "My time at Rensselaer has been the most influential and most special time in my life. The lessons I have learned and the people I have met have given me the foundation to be the person I am today, and the person I want to be for the rest of my life. My family and I are honored to be a part of this program, and it will always have a place for us in our hearts. With the exception of my classmates, I would like to thank Tracey Dame of the Financial Aid department for being an extraordinary friend, boss, and mentor. She has helped me throughout my entire college career with her willingness to care for my success in the classroom, on the ice, and ultimately everything in between. I thank you and wish you the best of luck." - March 2015
