Kenny Mitchell, Class of 1993

At Sanford I was encouraged, supported and embraced by the amazing faculty, my classmates and friends. Being comfortable with myself and confident in my skin—that’s an incredible gift. I didn’t go to college trying to fit in. I went determined to do my best and show them who I was. That is a game changer.

Class of 2011
