What advice would you give someone looking to apply to Lafayette? One piece of advice that I would give someone looking to apply to Lafayette is to have an open mind about what you want to major in. You will not always know for certain what you want to do post-college at 17-18 years old.

What are your favorite things about Lafayette?
My favorite thing about Lafayette is the feel of the campus. Even though it’s a small school, it doesn’t feel as small once you are on campus.

What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?
My favorite moment has to be when the Men’s team beat Lehigh outdoors in 2026 for the first time since 2019.
