Projects' Reflection

Free Rein's picture

The projects were great and very informative. They opened my mind and got me thinking about the College in another dimension. How I just assume things like courtesy or the contact zones. What I learnt most when carrying out my project was the diversity in Bryn Mawr. How some students’ views, histories and opinions are put into consideration, either lightly or heavily. The black students’ history at the college triggered my thoughts about the college. Whether Bryn Mawr really appreciates African students or take them for granted. I depended on oral histories for the fruition of my project which I would say, wasn’t very effective. There was no information at all about the first student who came solely from Africa which raised the question: Is Bryn Mawr a safe place for our existence or does it live for the slogan, ‘Fake it till you make it’?
