学术声誉

I was recruited to play soccer and upon visiting, I found the campus well-maintained and inviting; my potential teammates were fun, intelligent and open-minded; and the accommodations were comfortable. I also knew going in that Mount Union had a strong academic reputation, 我有资格获得奖学金.

大与小

Mount Union was large enough that it didn’t feel limiting and small enough that I could explore several majors before settling into 英语和西班牙语.

最喜欢的教授

我必须选一个? 这不公平!

Mount Union Memories

I’m so thankful I chose to participate in athletics at Mount Union. Playing soccer and running track gave me a strong sense of community right from our first training week and also helped me manage my time more efficiently. I also can’t believe I was able to participate in plays in addition to sports—something I don’t think would have been possible at a Division I or II school. I 太k advantage of the study abroad program as well and spent an incredible semester in San Sebastian, 西班牙. I also have fond memories of the stir-fry station and the pizza ovens.

开始职业生涯

I actually went to graduate school the very next year, after Dr. Hendel in the Department of Theatre introduced me to and helped me prepare for the University/Resident Theatre Auditions (U/RTAs) in Chicago. 没有博士. Hendel的指导, I wouldn’t have known the auditions existed nor would I have been prepared to undertake them.

有用的活动

I played soccer for four years and ran track and field 太. I participated in four plays with the Department of Theatre and rushed the sorority Alpha Delta Pi. I also worked in the costume shop and by senior year was very active in the Department of Theatre.

继续教育

I earned a Master of Fine 艺术 degree in acting from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2006, where I was offered a full tuition scholarship.

为毕业后的生活做准备

At Mount Union, I was able to take a broad range of classes and exercise all of my curiosities. I played sports, participated in plays, studied abroad, and met students from all over the world. I traveled to an impoverished area of El Salvador for the culmination of Dr. 克莱默的社会责任课. A well-balanced liberal arts education should expand one’s sense of empathy and responsibility. In addition, it should offer one structure so as not to fail, but also latitude on which to thrive. That certainly characterizes my experience at Mount Union.

居住生活

我住在国王宿舍, then Shields and finally the blue house across from the football practice fields (which, 我理解, was demolished to make room for additional student housing).
