"College is going to feel uncertain sometimes. Lean into that. That’s where the interesting stuff happens, where you surprise yourself, grow, and become someone you didn’t even know you could be."

Abigail Urban '26

Culinary School at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris

"I am most excited to take my learning in a new direction, studying something much more physical, while still building on my background in sociology. While at Bryn Mawr, I have studied the sociology of culture and hope to develop my understanding of food as a cultural aspect, a tool for connection, and a symbol in my further studies. "
