Marissa Williams Sophomore | Political Science “Freedom of speech because there are so many people who are persecuted because of their words.”
Chris Courson Sophomore | Biomedical Engineering “Freedom of religion because I am a Christian and sometimes I take my freedom to go to practice, pray, and not be persecuted for doing so, for granted.”
Zachary Lee Freshman | Geology “Freedom of speech because even if you don’t agree with the government, you can still directly contradict their views safely.”
Alonzo Laston Freshman | Graphic Design “Freedom of speech because from an artistic standpoint, one can express their emotions, feelings, and thoughts without being restrained by any higher power.”
Sydney Stokes Freshman | Biology “Being able to wear whatever I want, for whatever occasion, and not be oppressed.”
Eboni Hall Freshman | Civil Engineering “Education because not everyone is allowed to be educated in the Middle East. It not only hurts their population but the country’s progression as well.”

A GLIMPSE INTO THE LIVES OF EVERYDAY PEOPLE ON CAMPUS
ZIPS OF UA BY ADELINE ROEPER
DYLAN HANSEN SENIOR, PUBLIC RELATIONS
"So much of my high school and junior high, I hadn't felt comfortable being completely myself. It's really powerful and special when you get to feel comfortable with who you are, and not worry what people think about what you do with your hair, or your major, or your job. Once you feel secure and you feel valid doing things your way it’s the ultimate freedom."
