Dunning, John Gary Ambert, Eliana Rojas Kipreos, and Jessica Bradsher Personal statement: "I'm so lucky to have grandparents who accept my identity as a lesbian. When I was first coming out, saying the word 'girlfriend' was usually accompanied by an uncomfortable feeling. It seemed like the older the audience, the more likely I was to be met with a dirty look or biblical lecture. My Ita and my Papa Gary never behaved like others in their generation. It's normal for me to talk about my love life with both of them. I feel blessed that we share an interest in diversity and equal rights for everyone. I couldn't ask for a better pair of allies." Jessica Bradsher is a graduate student in the Master of Fine Arts program in Sculpture.
