鈥�During my sophomore year at CU, I switched to the English department because I wanted to study the ways people use storytelling, better understand it, and effectively create my own written work. I鈥檝e never looked back. In our department, I found an amazing group of like-minded people with big ambitions and have learned so much about language, literature, and analytical thinking. The faculty here are easily the smartest people I know, and they鈥檝e been so encouraging and supportive in pushing me to achieve my goals. Becoming a part of the English department at CU is one of the best decisions I have ever made and has been absolutely life-changing."
