Nicole Engel, posing outside, took an Equitable Spaces course

"I want to see a world in which each child has hope for their future — that they truly believe that the possibilities are endless, and that because of their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. they don't have additional challenges or roadblocks.

"I think that the first step towards change making is looking at yourself. Recognize your own privilege;  recognize your own challenges. This (Equitable Spaces) class really let me explore my own identity and that is critical to know how you can best help others."
