选择UMU
During my college search, I decided to attend Mount Union’s fall visit day. I instantly fell in love with the beautiful campus and everyone was so welcoming. Later in my senior year, I scheduled an overnight visit, just to make sure Mount was the one. Being able to experience Mount Union from a students prospective was such a unique experience, and my overnight host made my experience unforgettable. I now work alongside her as a Student Ambassador hoping to make impacts on prospective students just as she did on me. I am grateful to have received the Founder’s Scholarship, 曼齐拉多元文化奖, and Dance Scholarship from Mount Union to help aid my education.
第二个家
Mount Union feels like a second home to me because the faculty here are not only professional, 同时也是个人的. They really make an effort to get to know you and develop professional relationships with you. Additionally, dance has been a passion of mine my entire life. I am continuing my dance career with Mount Union’s dance team. I couldn’t be more thankful to be a part of a team that shares the same love of dance and feels like family. The dance team provides me with the escape I need when I am feeling stressed with schoolwork. I am so excited to take our routines to Disney World where we will compete nationally!
如何选择合适的大学
I would advise high school students looking at colleges and universities to keep an open mind and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. I didn’t know a whole lot about Mount Union prior to visiting, 最后我选择了这所学校. I came here not knowing anyone, but I’ve gotten the chance to meet great people. 这是我做过的最好的决定. 所以，不要害怕接受新的挑战. 你永远不知道什么会让你大吃一惊.
在Mount的学习经历
I think the Integrative Core has helped me improve my writing and speaking skills. I really like that these skills are continuously being worked on over the course of my four years, 而不是只上一门课. It’s very reassuring to be able to watch yourself grow and develop new skills. My freshman year I was able to participate in a research study with junior exercise science majors. 这项研究包括各种有氧运动, 厌氧, 灵活性, and body composition testing that lasted a full semester. 通过参与这项研究, I now have a better understanding of what these tests do, the effects certain exercises have on different body systems, 以及整个运动科学.
为什么是运动科学?
The exercise science program provides many advanced opportunities that will prepare students to work with people and help develop a thorough understanding of how the human body functions. This is very beneficial to my future career in the medical field. Students will also get the unique opportunity to conduct research of their own with the help of extremely knowledgeable professors. The exercise science program not only provides students with the foundational education they will need for graduate school, but it also prepares students to enter directly into the work field after graduation. My ultimate goal is to become a physician assistant. Mount Union is providing me with excellent academic and professional skills, and they are also helping me develop personally as well. Through Mount Union’s diverse and inclusive student body, I have broadened the way I view the world and others around me.
