Meet a Falcon
“IMS is a special place where you can be yourself, a place where you can be free, and most importantly — a place where you can meet a new family.”
"For new students coming to IMS, in the beginning it may feel tough or scary, but trust — the community is going to help you out and you're going to feel like home in the first few weeks."
"My favorite part about being a boarding student at IMS really is everything... through time you really feel like it is home here. When I'm not in the dorm, I really start to miss my dorm parents, dorm mates, and I get dorm sick."
"When people ask me 'Why IMS?' I always tell them the community. Just being around the great people here lifts you up and has challenged me to become a better person."
"The real question is, 'Why not IMS?" Everything plays into it. I've never been more invested in my academics and athletics and I've really been on top of my game since coming here. So, why not?"
The “Meet a Falcon” series began as a short-run video project for social media that introduced members of our community through brief video interviews. That project has since grown in scope and now gives an authentic look at the experiences of our students in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in the dorm. We will add new interviews periodically throughout the year.
