Grace encourages students to embrace a wide range of opportunities:

“Try as many things—extracurriculars, career programs, events, leadership roles, internships—as you can to discover where your strengths and passions overlap with the world’s needs. And remember, in the age of AI, the most valuable skills are human connection, authentic dialogue, and community-building.”
