POE: English

"Being an African American from the inner city, my first semester at Juniata was challenging - I had never been around so many white people! My initial reaction was to disassociate myself from everyone. However, extended orientation exposed me to other students who later became my friends. The faculty and staff are amazing. They support me in every way. Juniata is my extended family. They want me succeed and are doing everything in their power to help me. I could have not chosen a better college."

"It gives me great pleasure and honor to be a part of this great institution. Juniata has shown and taught me things beyond my expectation and beyond my vision. It has helped me develop academically and socially. One cannot help but fall in love with Juniata College."
