Leszczynska on choosing UNM: “UNM has a long-standing tradition of being accepting to a diverse student body. I want my university experience to be a culmination of experiences and knowledge that can only be attained from submersing myself in a diverse environment. I see this reflected in the track and field team, as well as something that is emphasized by the coaches here. Above all, I know that UNM is a place where my voice matters and I will be supported as well as taken care of.”
