Why you joined DPE: I joined DPE in my freshman spring, and was looking for a community of women who were as passionate about public service as they were about being friends, mentors, and sisters. Since I got involved, I’ve developed friendships with my fellow sisters that will last a lifetime, and I can’t wait to be by their sides through life too.
