What’s your favorite thing about Sewanee? I love how connected everyone is. I love that I sort-of know everyone on campus, or at least know someone who knows them. I love that campus feels like a giant family, to me at least. 

You spent some of your summer in Africa, Tell us about it! It was awesome!! I had the opportunity to visit Uganda, and go to one of the refugee camps there. We gave over 3,000 pairs of shoes to the kids at three different schools, and got to wash their feet. It was a really surreal experience because I didn’t speak their language at all, but somehow we found a way to communicate anyways. 

WE LOVE YOU MARY LYNN!
