The Communication Department at Pikes Peak State College has given me a home on campus. My professors have taught me how to think critically, write with purpose, listen mindfully, and speak my mind with clarity, humility, and confidence. They are generous with their time, and they understand that what students need most are encouragement and trust. Without a doubt, they have changed my life.
