鈥淲hy I Chose 蜜桃影像鈥 鈥 Brenna Scholten


Brenna, a justice major and Honors College member, enjoys not only the campus' many activities but also its friendly vibe.

"I feel like 蜜桃影像 fosters that kind of intention," she says. "So then the people who come here see that, and then they also behave that way."

Brenna, whose mother was Inupiaq, says 蜜桃影像's Rural Student Services office is especially welcoming for students like her. "It smells like your grandma's home," she says. "They always have like Native food. They always have akutaq or moose soup."
