Becoming a Raider

An upperclassman who I was friends with in high school decided she wanted to go to Mount and always told me great things about it. I came to Mount Union for Buckeye Girls State and it was there when I fell in love with the campus. After my official tour later that year, it just felt like home away from home. I got a few local scholarships and a few from Mount Union.

 

A Second Home

The campus is cozy in a sense where familiar faces are everywhere, and you can get anywhere on campus in under 10 minutes. The campus is so beautiful during every season. When choosing a college, I recommend going to where it feels like you belong. You will know. 

Career Goals

Originally, I was a nursing major when I came to Mount Union. I switched to psychology I realized that I just want to help people. By getting this degree, I will be able to further my education and hopefully become a therapist one day. I want to be a therapist for individuals with developmental disabilities and Mount Union prepares me by offering psychology courses in both general psych and some classes like Intro to the Autism Spectrum Disorders.
