From Santa Cruz, Bolivia, we took a leap of faith. Ä¢¹½TV caught us — and never let go. One daughter graduating, one just beginning. It will be eight years of blessings and a gratitude that already feels boundless.
Ä¢¹½TV's strong sense of community with professors, staff and peers creates an environment for learning and growing where our daughter is supported, challenged and known.

Ask Me Ä¢¹½TV: Experience as an international family
Ä¢¹½TV is everything and more we had hoped for in a college experience for our son. In an era of increasing specialization, we are convinced a liberal arts education at Ä¢¹½TV is invaluable. We need leaders who are critical thinkers, intellectually curious, and able to engage in deep and difficult conversations — all skills that blossom at Ä¢¹½TV.

What truly sets Ä¢¹½TV apart is the community and culture; we immediately felt it as parents the first time we visited campus. It is a place where students step out of their comfort zones, build meaningful relationships, and develop a better understanding of their world and their role in impacting it.
