Kenyon College, where she plans to continue exploring her creative interests.
For many students, high school is the beginning of discovering what genuinely interests them. VECTOR builds on that process by encouraging students to pursue those interests beyond the classroom, learning through experience, mentorship and reflection. By the time they graduate, they leave with more than coursework, college acceptances and impressive résumés. They leave with projects they’ve created, relationships they've built and experiences that have challenged their thinking. Some will continue down the path they first imagined. Others will head in a completely different direction. Either way, they won't be wondering what's possible. They'll already have begun finding out.
