Sarah McBride SPA/BA 鈥13
First Openly Transgender Member of Congress
It was through my experiences, as a whole, here at American that I was able to find not only my voice, but my courage--the courage to fight for what I believe to be right and the courage to both live my truth and dream big dreams all at the same time. It is because of this university that I am literally the person I am today.
