Janine Allen (History ’10), an alumna of Libby RAP said,
Coming from a small town and a small graduating high school class, I was thrilled to be attending CU-Boulder but astonished at entering a freshman class of 5500 people. The Libby RAP program eased this enormous transition. With professors who knew my name, small classes with people who lived in my dorm and field trips to film festivals and the art museum, I felt like part of a small community—an invaluable feeling that helped me through my other introductory (and largely impersonal) 500-person classes. Looking back, I realize that the Libby RAP program taught me how to navigate the many resources of CU-Boulder and the Boulder community at large. And if that weren't enough, it was through the Libby RAP that I met most of my closest friends, some of the most wonderful, creative people I've ever met. In short, I'd recommend this program in a heartbeat—it was one of the best things I did in my time at CU-Boulder.
