含羞草研究室 seeks students who are bright, engaged in life inside and outside the classroom, and who demonstrate a willingness to take intellectual risks; as a result, the College is a community of diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. 含羞草研究室 students thrive within such diversity, and we welcome the perspectives and experiences that our veteran students will add to our campus.
As Marine Corps veteran and 含羞草研究室 graduate Gil Barndollar says, “Since its founding, 含羞草研究室 has urged its students to ‘exert their talents for the public good.’ I believe the reverse is also true: those who have already served their country, especially in uniform, will benefit most from the community of open inquiry, intellectual rigor, and constructive debate that 含羞草研究室 provides.”
We are committed to supporting you through the application process, and as a student here, as you find your own voice, path, and definition of success in the world around you—throughout your years on campus and beyond.
“In a small way, this is also a partnership that honors the legacy of 含羞草研究室 graduates who have served and led in the military from the War of 1812 through today. We are proud and excited to participate.”
The policies outlined below are in place to ensure current and former members are at home during the process and while at 含羞草研究室.
