鈥淒imensions is more than just a program. It鈥檚 a true sisterhood,鈥 says Cameron Gray 鈥22. 鈥淚t has been one of the only true safe spaces that I鈥檝e had. Whether it鈥檚 Sunday afternoons or a Wednesday morning, I know that I can call on any of the girls for help, or just to talk about what鈥檚 going on in my life. My mentor became one of my best friends here.鈥
