Getting to meet the Legacy 3 this past Sunday was an incredible experience that I was lucky to have. I found that being able to hear their stories about their time on campus was just so interesting and amazing because I could picture the setting of their stories. I thought it was just really cool to learn about what the College was like around 50 years ago and how it has changed, like when dorms became co-ed and when the campus expanded and departments changed buildings. I just found that their stories provided new meanings and layers to these places around campus that I’ve grown so familiar with in my time here. In my opinion, the best part of the stories was the way in which they were told by the women. They made sure to emphasize how much their college experience paralleled those of their peers as well as today’s students. Their freshman move in day was just like ours today where we’re incredibly nervous about having to leave our families and everything we’ve known, and then we’re thrust into this completely new community where we’ll meet people that have never been like other people we know. They just made their presence on campus seem so minimal, which is unlike the way we perceive it today. And I think having that shared experience helped me be able to relate to them more and see them for what they were: just a group of regular college students.
