“Thank you for being part of my academic and personal growth. Coming to study at IC changed my life in unimaginable ways. IC exceeded all my expectations. I got to learn, explore and express the widest range of emotions I had ever been allowed or allowed myself to experience. Learning to truly dive in deep into my human experience [and] being surrounded by an inclusive community made me a better writer. As a freshman, I could have never imagined all the opportunities and growth that turned me into the person I am today.”
Marcos Andre de Melo Filho ’20, Screenwriting (Brazil)
