Without I would describe my experience at Methodist as one of the most humbling experiences in my life. I am only a great leader now because I was in a great environment then, and I learned how to be a leader in the classroom, in the community, and in the workplace. I was able to make mistakes in a safe and supportive environment, and learn from those mistakes with the guidance of the MU professors.

We desire our students to become responsible leaders and citizens. I could not imagine a better undergraduate school experience than the one I have received at MU because of its strong impact on my life. My MU experience left a lasting impression that I will apply to my practice as a new grad nurse at Duke Raleigh Hospital. I worked in the Clinical Microbiology Lab under the supervision of my mentor and manager. This is a great breeding ground for developing leadership skills, and one should not overlook the incredible diversity that is present on campus—we have students from literally all over the world!As someone who is interested in and fascinated by people, the My Cincinnati Reds internship was the most amazing experience I have had on a job. I brought that confidence to my interviews after graduation, and now, I bring it with me every day as I teach music classes, lead a choir, and run a musical theatre club. The most memorable part was when we had what was referred to as ‘Intern Call Days’, where all the interns got to compete to see who could sell the most tickets in club seating. My second internship was with Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research in Emeryville, Calif. I developed new skills, networked with fellow scientists, and also learned the dynamics of mentorship.I studied abroad in Nepal, Guatemala, and Italy. Choose from short-term trips or semester exchanges around the world. I am so proud to be a lifelong Monarch!There are so many opportunities to truly develop into a leader and really make an impact on the MU community. I grew up a huge Reds fan, so getting to go to the ballpark every day to work was an unbelievable experience. Being a part of the women’s lacrosse team has offered me new friendships and an outlet to grow mentally and physically.Not only did I learn valuable information within a classroom setting, but I was also able to apply that information to real life experiences through internships and jobs that I have worked in the ‘real world.’ Through my involvement on the men’s lacrosse team, and in other organizations on campus, I have made friends and memories that will last a lifetime.I am investing in my education and my future, and Methodist is investing in me by giving me countless opportunities for growth, networking, and community engagement.I built relationships with my resident assistants, and I set a goal to become one. During my first internship, I worked as a residential counselor for the Duke Talent Identification Program. We support critical thinking, compassionate and caring interactions, and the delivery of ethical and evidence-based health care services. We seek to develop critical thinkers who are conversant with the liberal arts tradition and contribute substantially in their careers and communities. As an international student living 8,636 miles away from home, I am emboldened by Methodist University.Methodist has some of the best professors who go out of their way to ensure the material is being understood and students are excelling in their studies. I have gained knowledge, connections, and leadership abilities that I never thought possible. Jobs has named MU a Military Friendly® School for eight straight years, and we are proud to serve our military, veterans, and dependents.My MU experience has taught me the importance of being an effective leader and giving back to the community. Because of the in-depth and individualized education provided by highly skilled faculty, I have been able to reach new heights both as an educator and as a performer.
My internships with the U.S.-Japan Council and the Earth Identity Project gave me rewarding opportunities to complete communications-related projects and programmatic work with non-governmental and non-profit organizations.MU gave me many opportunities as a performer and as a teacher.

This helped me gain confidence in my abilities and myself, which is something I did not have four years ago. What I have learned at MU can’t be confined to a classroom—it comes in the form of the relationships you build and the lessons you learn from everyone you come into contact with.My parents work in law enforcement, so I chose MU’s I would not have started off as well in law school if it had not been for the I chose Methodist University because of the opportunity to play my favorite sport while being able to focus on my major.

The faculty challenged me to think critically and to put myself into new situations. Starting the week off with a get-to-know session Monday at 5pm on mumonarchs.com with men's golf coach Steve Conley. The Official Home Of The Central Methodist University Eagles Study Abroad is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with benefits that go far beyond an academic education. It was a research internship, and I was interning as a Scientific Summer Scholar for ten weeks.
