Grace Johanns ’22 wouldn't say she sees past the daily difficulties posed by the genetic visual impairment she has spent a lifetime overcoming. She does see beyond them.

"The mantra I try to live by is, 'A loss of sight is never a loss of vision,'" Johanns said as she prepared to earn her Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education last month. "That is something I try to embody in my everyday life and something I remind myself of often.”

Arielle Williams ’25 spent nearly all her life in the Chicago foster care system that is overwhelmed, broken, and, far too often, tragically unsafe.

As a first-year student, Williams began building her own powerfully positive narrative, a story bound for a hopeful and inspirational ending. Her ambitions are large, and they are noble. 

"I'm going to be a psychiatrist. I want to create non-profits for foster kids. Group homes. I really want 'Dr.' in front of my name. I want to stand for something.”
