"Without the HEOP program, I would not be the student I am at Hamilton College. The program showed me what it meant to be a college student and made me realize that it is important to make myself stand out in any surrounding. They expect and bring out the best in all of their stuents. The Opportunity Programs office has enabled and motivated me to pursue my goals."
