“My Flagler College experience was freeing, visionary, and impactful. I am especially grateful to the Political Science faculty and how they helped guide me throughout my journey in college. My advisor, Dr. Bracewell, pushed me to a higher level of academic research and suggested I take my work to a conference to present." – Abby Wahl ‘25

“My Flagler experience was transformative, inspiring, and peaceful. The list is entirely too long to say who inspired me, nearly every mentor and professor in my life has inspired me. But specifically, here at Flagler, Professor Bracewell and Professor Thweatt have pushed my philosophical views and outlooks on the world to the extreme and have given me an amazing foundation in which to build my own house of philosophy." – Jake Van Clief ‘24
