“ Gracelanders Say It Best

I really didn’t know who I was as a person when I came to Graceland. But I’ve learned that when you take new chances and embark upon new opportunities, you learn more about yourself. I have been shaped into the man that I was supposed to be and am today because of Graceland — through the environment, the people I’ve met, friends, sports, and involvements here on campus. You can really learn and evolve in new ways when you challenge yourself, and that’s what my Graceland experience has been like.
