Give to the EOF Program
“I am eternally grateful to all of the EOF staff. The EOF Program has provided me with so many opportunities these past four years, all of which I thought I would never get to do. From the academic boot camp, we were all subjected to in 2016, to going abroad twice, to finally being a graduating senior. This program and all who work with it deserve the highest of praise because you have all taught us how to work hard, how to grow up, and have guided us through the tough time that college is. I am more than happy to consider EOF a family, and I will never forget it.” ~Warren Semper, Class of 2020
