Seeing your own biases
“It’s a unique experience to be at a woman's college.”
Elif Turan ’22 came to ɬ from Turkey to be a change-maker — and ɬ has changed her.
“It’s a unique experience to be at a woman's college,” she says. “Seeing someone from a totally different culture, you can see your biases. It starts with you. You start to question, where do you belong? What do you believe? How does that affect your community? You see that you have those biases because of the region that you were born in and the community that you grew up in.”
A Davis United World College Scholar, Turan is majoring in mathematics and computer science and hopes to start her own business making financial advising accessible for lower-income people.
