Davione Blaise, a first-generation college student, was skeptical at first because she thought she would be overwhelmed at ý Western.
But she got involved in several student organizations, and all the skepticism went away as she grew as a leader.
“I am very appreciative of the school and all its staff,” she said. “They have been so helpful and caring. My parents love ý Western just as much as I do.”
