WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO...
St. Edward’s University students are doing all kinds of interesting things outside the classroom as a result of what they’re learning in the classroom. But to really understand these amazing experiences, you need to step into their shoes. As told to Erin Peterson
St. Edward’s University students spend plenty of time hitting the books. But just as important as the tests they take and papers they write are the remarkable and inspiring things they do as a result of their education. In the past year alone, students have produced an album of their award-winning hip-hop music, helped HIV patients in Kenya and tracked down white-collar criminals. But instead of sharing their accomplishments with overused superlatives (It was great! I loved it! I am changed forever!), we asked what those experiences were really like. Their experiences might end up as a single line on their résumés, but here, these students share the ways their adventures have been far messier, nuanced and joyful than they ever could have imagined.
