Daniels is a community of choice -- a place in which everyone is valued and included, where people connect and engage, and where ideas, career opportunities and relationships enhance lives. Daniels is composed of those who walk its hallways, including you. Now, we want to know how you and those around you have found places at Daniels -- how its many different people, ideas and ambitions shape the Daniels community. This might be a singular story about you, a peer, or a teacher. Or, you may paint a broader picture of the Daniels inclusive environment. Above all, tell us how this is a place where our core values of community, excellence, professionalism and collaboration show through in our work and the impact we have on the world.
Tell us how:
- In 2 - 3 minutes,
- With it being suitable for all audiences (including prospective students),
- And submit it to us by Monday, April 19.
