“Impact with integrity” is more than the marketing
brand for the Brennan School of Business, it is a personal mission. The Brennan School is just one example of the
colleges within Dominican University that encourages their students to live the
mission of compassionate service and pursuit of truth, with the distinct
purpose of creating a more just and humane world. I believe that by continuing to improve
myself through education, I will create greater opportunities to positively
impact the world. I chose Dominican
because their vision not only identified with my own goals, but also the path I
want to take to reach them. They focus
on personal relationships, unlike at many other educational institutions. If you don't believe me look up the mission or identity statements. Better yet, ask one of the nuns who you will see on campus constantly giving back to our wonderful community. As a proud of member of Dominican’s community
I know that Caritas and Veritas (Latin for love and truth) are more than the
words painted on the walls- they are my educational objectives. A university
level education is the greatest stepping stone in bringing these pursuits
to life.
I have always known I
wanted to work with other individuals on a personal basis, so studying psychology was no far stretch of the imagination. For me, the individual is
extremely important. I want to learn the
different theories on not only what molds the individual and his or her mind,
but also how to provide support for all kinds of experiences and issues. As a smaller university I am able to know many of the psychology professors on a personal level making it so much easier to find opportunities for collaborative research or internships, as well as support and guidance.
I chose a liberal arts institution to help me become the best possible version of myself by incorporating a well-rounded education. What many people often forget, students included, is that we are much more than our majors. The mind is not one sided, and neither is the soul. All the different fields incorporated into a liberal arts education are interrelated. Dominican fits my outlook for the future because it is very open-minded in terms of education about other cultures, beliefs, and philosophies. This open dialogue is necessary to prepare me for the world outside of the classroom. The world does not often offer up one right answer so students must be prepared to come from a place of understanding and not prejudice, to form their own opinions, and to think critically.
Let's be honest, It's also pretty cool having a campus that looks nearly identical to Hogwarts in Harry Potter.
