Faculty mentors
“Career specialist Sarah Gorke is amazing. Anytime I need to chat or help to make a decision, she is my go-to. I am so glad we met, and I advise anyone to have a chat with her.”
Favorite class
“My favorite class was Intellectual Foundations. I withdrew from my first course because I didn’t feel a connection between my teacher and me, nor the class. My new professor made me look at Greek mythology and intellects very differently, and I used the information and books in other classes as well. It was an amazing experience to see the outcome I got from a different professor.”
Career goal
“I’m not exactly sure what career I would like, but I hope to find a career where I’m happy and can use my knowledge to better communities and the world.”
What would your 8-year-old self think of you now?
