The 2015 Collection was compiled with members of the American University Class of 2018, as part of the University College program. These essays were the first, experimental version of the project, completed (under very different circumstances) as part of a one-credit research course in Spring 2015. The collection is compiled within a dedicated YouTube channel, and thus it is suggested that you begin with this introduction (featuring the voices of all the participants). Click through to individual essays, then come back to look at others.
