First Year
I wanted something that can get me above all the other people who want to get into med school.
Junior
Going to Spain changed a lot of things for me. I want to fully enjoy my undergraduate years.
First Year
I love anything creative... art, drawing, sketching and inspired writing.

Physics is concrete and theater is freer. If I don't have both, then I'm not satisfied.
Senior
Being here has challenged everything I believe in -- in every facet of my life.

I'm researching how to bring environmental studies curriculum to elementary schools.

Senior
My professors emphasize the importance of being true to the field that you're teaching.

Senior
Every class I teach will have technology integrated into its lesson plans.
Senior
I explored how employers and employees provide different assessments of whether a job is considered dangerous.

I researched organic and conventional agriculture, and how they relate to food security.

At Knox, you can be a neuroscience major and also really like religious studies.

To re-establish the value of food we must be aware of the lines from food producer to consumer.

I will miss having a random idea from left field and having so many faculty say 'Okay, how do we make this happen?'
Kewanee, Illinois
I have always been curious about how people lived before all of the modern conveniences we are fortunate enough to have.
Senior
I studied how gustatory tastes work with memories to identify events in our lives.

I used a Wii Fit videogame machine to study the impact of force on the articular cartilage of the knee.
Sophomore
My research gave me a much greater understanding of the culture and the workings of the public health system in Nicaragua.

I was really interested in the peace and conflict aspect of the Ireland program.
Senior
I like studying who we are and how we work. Research is so collaborative, so hands on.
Senior
Everything I came across studying La Malince was interesting and I worked with a lot of historians.
Senior
Ten years from now I could be doing something completely different. I could be a professor or a farmer. I'm leaving it wide open.
Senior
The best thing about activities that go on at Knox is that almost all of them are student-initiated.
Senior
Off the field I've learned how to be a better person, how to be a leader.
Senior
There's no better way to learn about the government than seeing it firsthand.
Senior
Going to Shanghai was both a cultural experience and a scientific experience for me.
Senior
Knox Habitat is a great lesson in community development. What better way to lead than by example?

Senior
I looked at selfhood, emotions of freedom, and nostalgia and death -- all those fun things.

Fiction is untruth ultimately, so it is useless to the real world. That is the best quality of it.
Senior
Whether its field work, lab work, or the bio medical end of it, I like it all.
Senior
I invented an instrument to aid orthopedic surgeons performing knee replacement surgery.
Senior
I've learned a lot from being a coach. Sometimes you've got to be hard-nosed.

The youth activist movement is not just dreadlocks and hemp. The peace movement has spread to all types of people.

I think the environmental movement can be stronger if ecologists and toxicologists talk to each other about the issues that each is facing.
Senior
I joined the Study Abroad program to explore community development in Thailand.
Senior
I know that I will be in the social service world. That is what really calls to me.

My research project was a great learning experience and has helped me shape my interests for graduate school.

The last four years have gone by so quickly. I will definitely miss playing collegiate golf.

Knox taught me not just how to multitask, but how to find what I want and how to do it.
