Why did you join LAH?: LAH creates a small community of passionate students within a larger university. It is the perfect avenue to form close relationships with professors and students who are excited about learning while having access to the resources of a big university!

What’s your favorite part of being in LAH?: I have gained my closest friends through LAH; the program allows me to learn from and grow with students with a variety of interests and majors.
