“I absolutely love Miami University," Hadley told Manhattan Beach Patch. "I cannot imagine myself at any other school. In every way, my freshman year exceeded my expectations. As just a freshman, it was both honoring and humbling to see the amount of access the school gave me to opportunities like research, one-on-one time with professors, advising, and help at every corner. I cannot wait to be back on campus in the fall. Miami functions with an equal dedication to excellence both in the classroom and as an individual working to improve our world.”
