Being a Lion means having a family--a Pride--to call on for academic, career and personal support. It doesn't mean fitting into a rigid standard or compromising your culture, identity or beliefs to fit into a box.
Lions come from all over the world from an endless variety of backgrounds and bring to our collective university environment a wealth of knowledge, experience and diversity.
What connects us all is a thirst for knowledge, a drive for success as citizens of the world, and a passionate sense of belonging as a Lion.
Join the Pride and start your academic exploration today.
