“My daughter Wren chose Mason, because of the abundant resources that Mason has to offer. With being in close proximity to Washington, D.C., for job opportunities to various study abroad programs, Mason has allowed Wren to become eager for new adventures. I remind her that the whole world is open to her for opportunities and I’m enjoying the benefit of watching her become independent as a college student. She reminds me how having our family as a support system for her throughout her college career is integral.”
