experiences that build confidence

From the classroom to the dorm room, living and learning together shapes the Gordon experience—and ultimately shapes you. Imagine how you’ll grow from banding together with an honors cohort for four years, trekking through the Adirondack wilderness on a La Vida expedition, working with a human rights organization in Croatia, making art in an ancient convent in the Italian countryside, volunteering with a local homeless or tutoring ministry, rallying on the quad for a snowball fight or joining Fighting Scots nation as an athlete or superfan.

“The liberal arts education [at Gordon] gave me such an excellent foundation to venture out into the world and not be afraid, just be ready to dip my hand into anything that came my way.”

Freda Obeng-Ampofo ’08 Founder and chief mixer, Kaeme Cosmetics
