SHOW UP BOLD

SHOW UP - BE EXCEPTIONAL

At the University of Mount Union, we make one crucial decision again, and again, and again. We show up.

We show up when the road gets rough. We show up when others don’t. We show up for each other, no matter what.

This commitment to each other sets us apart. This drive to make the most of our potential offers you life-changing opportunities.

When you join us, you join a community that puts in the hours – in the lab and library, in the gym and on the training field, in the nursing clinics and companies where we train and the volunteer sites where we give our all to the community around us.

When you’re surrounded by people who do the work, you gain something important. You gain the confidence to face down any challenge. You can have the vision to make the most of your career.

Because you’re ready. Ready to build, to work, to make each moment count. You’re ready to show up. And so are we.

Show up bold. Show up strong.

After transferring, my social, academic, and athletic life did a complete 180 for the better. This campus feels like a second home because of the people and small college atmosphere. I feel valued and connected at Mount Union.

Mount Union does not feel like a second home to me; but rather my primary home because it not only offers me people that I choose to be my family, but also the support, encouragement and opportunities to be the best version of myself and pursue the things that make me Amy.

SHOW UP DRIVEN | Making Your Mark

“The global engineering trip to Belize was incredible,” she said, reflecting. “Getting to make those memories with my peers and having the chance to serve an underdeveloped community are things I’ve brought with me into my career today.”

Taylor Cline is in her seventh year at CESO, and her impressive ascent has led her to be a lead project engineer after earning two promotions in that time. In this role, she leads a team of traffic engineers and works on designs and traffic patterns for major clients like Love’s Travel Stops, FedEx, and Sheetz.

In continuing to climb the ranks at CESO, one of Cline’s core beliefs is finding purpose through serving others; clearly illustrated through her fond memories of the Belize trip and other Mount Union service-learning experiences. It is also one of the reasons she enjoys her career at CESO, which has annual “Impact Days” when offices close and employees volunteer at local nonprofits.

In having found a professional home at CESO, Cline became more comfortable in being the authentic leader she knew she had the potential to be. Along with being a female leader in her industry, Cline, who identifies as a lesbian, still had slight apprehension about fully opening up and coming out at work. Those worries were eased after being welcomed by her peers when she came out to them, continuing a positive environment where she could thrive and lead.

“I was definitely nervous to share with my bosses that yeah, I’m gay, hoping it would not change anything,” Cline said. “But the amount of love and I support I received after coming out to them has been incredible and one of the reasons I continue to love my job. The reputation I had built for myself and my work helped too, and it’s only gotten better as my career has advanced.”
