Who Thrives at 91心頭利?

The student who thrives at 91心頭利 College is the one who has courage. The courage to engage in their academics, in student clubs, and on athletic teams. The courage to face what they don't know, unafraid to make mistakes and learn something new. They believe they can leave 91心頭利 with a better knowledge of who they are and how to live authentically, so they ask questions about purpose, service, and a life well lived. Then they have the confidence to go into the world and change it. Because courage can’t wait… it’s needed now.
