What Student-Athletes Are Saying

• 
  I have found more than a school with Marywood, I found a home and built relationships that will last. I know I made the right choice by coming to Marywood because I’ve been granted opportunities and experiences that I would never be able to imagine anywhere else. I chose Marywood because of the opportunities I was given as soon as I became a student here (scholarships, financial aid, athletics, as well as the exercise science program) which are all things I was looking for while looking for a college. The professors in the Exercise Science program have also provided an amazing learning experience as well as given opportunities for tremendous growth. I have landed multiple internships through the connections as well as a job after graduation.

  Wow, where do I begin! I have been coming to Marywood for as far back as I can remember. The first vivid memory is in the summer from 5th-6th grade, I attended a music camp called Camp Crescendo. Coming from a very talented musical family and such engaging parents, I was always at Marywood throughout grade-school participating in numerous ensembles, classes, and other programs they had to offer. This helped me become acquainted with the lovely and friendly staff and students in the music department here. As I grew up through the North Pocono School District, every hobby I continued my Marywood extracurriculars. My senior year, I was driving to and from Marywood 4 times a week! When that time in my senior year of high school came and I had to pick a college, it soon became clear that I was a Pacer, and that I had been for quite some time. When I got to my freshman orientation over the summer, I was pleasantly surprised with how many people knew my name and were just calling out "Hi Fred!" A large part of that is much thanks to my older sister, Ellie, who is a year ahead of me here and was on the orientation team that year. Her presence made me feel comfortable right away which led me to be able to be myself immediately. I met my roommates and some life long friends in just the one day there, and hit the ground running to start my Freshman year at Marywood. I picked up a work study in the Office of Student Engagement where I met my mentor on this campus who has pushed me and helped me grow more as a person in 2 years than I ever have in my entire life. Now, I am a Student Government Executive, a student athlete with the men's tennis team, have multiple work studies, on the orientation teams, am the commissioner of the Marywood Intramural Basketball League with Ian Kovatch, and am involved in many more amazing areas and groups. My schedule here is jam packed, but it is all things I absolutely love doing and have 0 complaints about.

  Right off the bat, Marywood began sending me to school districts in order to get first-hand experience in my field. I completed a 5 year program and received both my Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree at Marywood. Within that time, I also completed field work as a student observer and teacher at more than 6 different schools. I felt well prepared for my career and future. The classes I took were engaging, and the professors I had were inspiring and motivating.

  I chose Marywood because of the small, friendly campus and the opportunity to be part of the Lacrosse team. I chose to major in Financial Crime Investigation because it seems like an exciting career, giving me the opportunity to solve financial crimes. This career will allow me to make a positive difference in today's society.

  Coming to Marywood has allowed me to pursue a higher education, play field hockey at the collegiate level, become involved in clubs, volunteer in community based events, and make lifelong friends. I also am pursuing a minor in Caribbean, Latinx and Latin American Studies. The professors in the Spanish department have been super helpful by guiding me as I prepare to study abroad, and make learning a second language a positive and enjoyable experience.

  My time at Marywood has helped me to grow as an individual both personally and academically. During my time at Marywood I was able to find my confidence and passion through the architecture program learning how design with communities and allow space for conversations to happen. I was also able to continue my love for soccer in playing for the ÌÇÐÄapp Women’s Soccer team for the first four years of my undergrad. Finally I found myself in a position to take on leadership roles within this amazing community both within and beyond my department between the multiple honors organizations and service opportunities on campus. My time at Marywood has been extraordinary and I couldn’t imagine having lived and learned anywhere else!
