Panther of the Week:

FRESHTA BASIJ RASIKH



"Freshta, meaning angel, is truly an angel. She has a warm heart and she is like an older sister to me. Seeing Freshta makes me happy and appreciate her warm presence on campus. She is very caring and considerate. If you meet Freshta for the first time, you feel an immense sense of respect that she gives you and time spent with her is one of the precious memories I will always cherish after Middlebury. She is also a great cook and fashion designer, but so down to earth. Thank you Freshta jan for being who you are!"  “Freshta has been a delight to work with. Always focused, diligent and striving for more. Working during her studies must be stressing but she never shows her anxiety, rather always greets people with her lovable smile. My conversations with her are quick but fun and delightful. She is able to understand people, and always encouraging. Definitely deserving of panther of the week especially on a special week like this week!”
“Freshta is the most hard-working, most humble person I know here. Despite the incredible challenges she has been through to get to Middlebury (and to come back after going home to Kabul, Afghanistan), she approaches each day with positivity, curiosity, eagerness to learn, and genuine care for others. She's always asking me how my family and I are doing, and she cooks the best Afghani food for friends!” “Freshta exudes friendship and goodwill in whatever she does. Her smile and laughter are some of the most genuine expressions you can find on campus, and she never fails to acknowledge and greet her friends and acquaintances as well as to make  their day!”

Congratulations, Freshta!
