Arriving at Sarah Lawrence with interests in psychology and computer science, Anastasiia Valchuk found an unexpected bridge between them through studying Italian. Guided by Italian faculty member Tristana Rorandelli’s belief that language learning requires courage and resilience, she became an Italian peer tutor, building confidence through persistence. Their collaboration reflects the reciprocal nature of mentorship at Sarah Lawrence, where students and faculty challenge and inspire one another—growing together across fields and perspectives.
