Liana on her Bryn Mawr experience: "I'm so grateful for the academic support and inspiration that I've found at Bryn Mawr and Haverford. I was able to pursue a broad range of my interests and combine most of them into my senior English thesis! I can't thank all my excellent professors enough, particularly Jennifer Harford-Vargas in the English department; Enrique Sacerio-GarĂ in the Spanish department; and Jerry Miller and Qrescent Mali Mason in Haverford's philosophy department. I owe the curious, confident, academically capable person I am today to them!"
