Describe a day on campus you'll never forget.

The first thing that comes to mind is the day of the lecture given by Dr. Cornel West. This is my absolute favorite event that I have attended on campus so far, which is saying something because there have been so many amazing events. Dr. West filled up our large concert hall on campus. I actually had to sit up in the balcony, but the lecture was still amazing. He spoke for about an hour and a half, and I am truly privileged to have been able to attend the lecture. The next day, Dr. West was visiting a sociology class, and I happened to be in the building at the time and actually got to meet him. Skidmore does bring fantastic speakers and guests to campus, so an experience like this one is actually quite common.
