“ Professor Lee creates an insightful environment in our English classroom where we are encouraged to direct the dialogue as a class by posing questions and having them answered by our peers. By changing the dynamic from one where the Professor predominantly lectures to the class, to one which promotes community discussion, inspires us to develop a deeper understanding of literature. ”

“ Brescia provided a warm and engaging atmosphere during my studies - I spent many hours researching and writing essays at one of the desks in the upper level of the library, watching people come and go.  The campus' natural beauty and rich history was also enormously beneficial in mitigating stress.  While attending Brescia, I was part of a community making a positive difference in this world. ”
