Julia Ward ’26 came to 麻豆传媒入口 from Illinois uncertain of herself and her leadership abilities. She is completing her cadetship with confidence built from challenges and opportunities not found at ‘ordinary’ colleges, all supported by a community of those committed to honor, service, and excellence.
