Here are some of the unique reasons our members love WGC…

Grace Mischel (she/her)
Senior majoring in Biology, Health, and Society with a minor in Business Administration & Music
Joining WGC my freshman year was surely one of the best decisions I made coming into college. Coming from a rural area, stepping onto a campus of 45,000 individuals was overwhelming and challenging, and WGC made a very large environment feel friendly and manageable. Women’s Glee has become a community for me: a safe haven of people who embody sisterhood, friendship, and a shared love of music. WGC has made my experience at the University of Michigan incredibly special, and I am so lucky to be part of a generational legacy.

Daman Gill (she/her)
Junior majoring in Public Health and International Studies with a minor in Music
Singing has always been a core part of my life, and joining Glee was more than just a college decision, it was about leaving a legacy. I wanted to contribute to something that empowers women, embraces my identity without judgment, and lets me pursue the passion I’ve carried my whole life. Through WGC, I’ve met incredible people, toured internationally, grown as a leader, and so much more. It’s safe to say that you WILL find where you truly belong. WGC, forever and always!

Audrey Hammer (she/her)
Senior majoring in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Dance
Glee has probably been the best decision I’ve made since coming to Michigan. This organization has provided so much for me, including opportunities for learning and growth, but it has also allowed me to meet the most amazing people. My best friends are all people I have met through WGC, and in general, everyone is so kind, accepting, fun. It is a joy to make music with such wonderful people every week. Beyond relationships, Glee has provided a space for me to exercise my creative side in a way that I wouldn’t be able to if I only stuck with activities regarding my major. As a chemical engineer, WGC provides a refreshing break to sing and express myself in the company of like-minded people.

Hailey Mydock (she/her)
Senior majoring in Industrial & Operations Engineering with minors in International Minor for Engineers and Music
As I enter my senior year, I truly don’t know who’d I’d be as a person if not for the Women’s Glee Club. I joined WGC in search of way to continue learning and performing choral music, but I also found a family. From the very beginning, these people embraced me, and I realized I was a part of something much bigger than myself. I’m grateful for this opportunity to continue my personal and artistic growth, alongside these incredible individuals.

Cait Tay (SHE/HER)
Junior majoring in Asian Studies
I look forward to Glee every week as a creative outlet where I get to express my musicality in a fun and stress-free environment. I’ve also really enjoyed getting to know people better who I never would have met without Glee! I’m always so proud of the hard work we do together as friends and musicians.

Marisa Martinez (SHE/HER)
Sophomore majoring in Biomedical Engineering with International Engineering minor
I cannot just sum up glee into one favorite memory. We have been having a lot more internal social events where we can get to know our fellow glesties. This has made our Halloween Progressive, retreats, WoVad, concerts, and rehearsals all the more exciting. I especially love hanging out with my friends who joined glee with me in my freshman year. We have also brought back bigs-and-littles which was a lot of fun getting to know the new members!

Breah Marie Willy (she/her)
Sophomore majoring in Intended Public Policy major and American Culture minor

I love Glee!! My two closest friends that I have made since coming to school here are in Glee, so I just had to join, not to mention the other friends I have made since joining. I love making music, and being able to do so with people I really enjoy is unbeatable. I am looking forward to a wonderful semester.

Lilly Hardy (she/her)

I have absolutely loved my time in Glee. I joined the first semester of my freshman year, and have so appreciated this space where I can come and do my favorite thing (sing), and hang out with my friends. The friends I’ve made in glee are amazing, and people I likely never would have met otherwise!

Mandi Campo (she/her)

Glee gives me a great outlet for creativity and to make music! Whenever I am stressed and really busy, it is great to have rehearsal a couple times a week to focus on making music with others.

Sydney Gong (she/her)
Junior majoring in Psychology with minors in Intergroup relations and Music
Glee is the best because it has allowed me to continue my love of choir throughout college! I missed having the consistency of an extracurricular like this looking back at high school, and WGC has helped me continue my passion of singing. I’ve made wonderful friends here and am excited to meet many more!

Gabby Taichman (she/her)

Glee is the best because of our amazing directors (Katie and Ben) and being able to do what we love (sing!!) with our glesties for the greatest university in the world!

Karina Yang (she/her)

Going into college, I knew I wanted to find a place where I could continue singing, so joining was one of best decisions I’ve made so far! Glee has been a space where I can freely express my musical passions, while also growing in my choral experience. I’ve also been able to met so many lovely people who share the same love for singing!
