”Emory & Henry provides an academic environment that allows students to run freely with their intellectual interests and to pursue their passions to the fullest. My personal mission is to reduce and prevent gun violence. I presented my research regarding Second Amendment jurisprudence across the country, and my work was published in the Columbia Undergraduate Law Review. Together, presenting and publishing my research, debating my ideas freely with students and professors in the classroom, interning in the Supreme Court of Virginia, and discussing societal violence on CNN have each played an extremely formative role in preparing me for the next step of my professional and academic careers.“ — Colin Christensen, Class of 2014, Strasburg, Virginia
