Dear President Quillen,
My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, environmental protection, social justice, and diversity. In these subjects or core values I like to learn the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, expand on diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background, improve education reform to improve learning, a need for social justice to improve communities, and many others. President Quillen, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 18th President of Davidson College and your work in diversity inclusion to be very inspiring to me.
In 2011, I liked on how you made history on becoming the first female to become President of Davidson College. In your current role as 18th President of Davidson College, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter and advocate for civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and expressing the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination in order to protect women, minorities, and people with disabilities. Also to improve civil rights, I liked on how you work to expand on rules to combat against bullying and harassment. Supporting accommodations to help students with disabilities like extra time on exams or use educational software to help improve comprehension, expanding tutoring services to provide students with help on their assignments from tutors, and implementing more liberal arts, arts, humanities, history, and basic classes to make education diverse along with make more opportunities for students to find subjects that they want to learn are great ways to improve education reform. Also on education reform I like on how you support literacy programs to help students including adults improve on their comprehension skills or gain literacy skills. On diversity, I like on how you work on hiring women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work for the college and expand on programs to help educate staff members and students about different cultures along with the need for diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background. Also to improve diversity in education I like on how you expanded more basic or introductory classes to different subjects, expand on arts, history, and humanities to help accept students with different skills to learn different subjects or assist students to explore different courses to their degree. Another thing that I like about your work as President of Davidson College is how you expand on more research programs to help students including faculty get engage to learn how different topics can make a great difference for society, push for more scholarships to help low income students or minorities get assistance on getting into college or affording supplies, implement mental health services to help students who struggle with mental health to get the care they need, push for more scholarships to help low income students or minorities get assistance on getting into college or affording supplies, create Equity Task Force to find ways to combat against racial injustice while find ways to expand on making education more accessible to people who come from disadvantage communities along with who come from different communities, and heavily express the need to reduce high tuition cost to help students from paying high costs in order to get a college. Also I liked on how you worked hard to improve the Davidson Trust to help provide students with help on getting grants for education or research to reduce borrowing loans. Besides your work as President of Davidson College, I like on how you are a continuous strong supporter of civil rights causes, advocate for environmental protection to reduce pollution, emphasize the need for more liberal arts in colleges, and express the need for immigration reform to help protect immigrants, dreamers, and refugees from being oppressed.
President Quillen, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes really inspires me to work hard on my disability. On Youtube I enjoy watching you talk about diversity, social justice, environmental protection, civil rights, and education reform. Your role as 18th President of Davidson College gives me motivation to continue to learn history, social justice, environmental protection, and diversity. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to emphasize the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, expand on diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background, improve education reform to improve learning, a need for social justice to improve communities, and many others,
I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society including education. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support civil rights, improve education reform, expand on diversity, implement social justice causes, and many others. You have inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn about your work, and continue to learn history, social justice, environmental protection, and diversity. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to advocate for common sense ideas.
Sincerely,
Matt Winick
