What were you involved with on campus as a student?

As an undergraduate student at Marist, I was heavily involved with the Music & Theatre Departments on campus. I was on a music scholarship at Marist and had the opportunity to minor in music and perform in various productions through the bet亚洲365欢迎投注 Singers, Chamber Choir and the bet亚洲365欢迎投注 Council of Theatre Arts. I formed some of the best relationships with other 学生 through these organizations. I was also involved in the Public Relations Student Society of America through the Communications department on-campus. My on-campus job as a student ambassador, 导游, and student assistant in the 入学 办公室 furthered my interest in pursuing a career in higher education. 

Favorite spot on campus:

My favorite spot on the Marist campus is just outside of the James. A. Cannavino library, overlooking the beautiful campus green & 哈德逊河. I’ve enjoyed spending time relaxing in this setting as a student & also a professional staff member. 

Favorite Marist tradition:

My favorite Marist tradition would have to be the Giving Tree Ceremony run through the Department of Spiritual Life and Service (formerly Campus Ministry) organization at Marist which is one of our largest organizations on-campus. Every year around the holidays, the organization places trees around campus and 学生, staff & 教师 purchase items for families in need in our local Hudson Valley area. There is a ceremony that takes place right before the fall semester ends where everyone brings their wrapped gifts and gives thanks for the work that the Marist Community does for others in need.

Favorite Marist memory:

My favorite Marist memory was performing on the stage of the Nelly Goletti Theatre for the last time in my senior year with the bet亚洲365欢迎投注 Singers. I spent a lot of quality time in the theatre throughout my four years on-campus and a few years as a professional choregraphing a few of the musicals. 

Best advice for the college search:

Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Our staff in the 入学 办公室 along with other Marist staff, 教师, 学生, and alumni are always eager to converse with our prospective 学生.

Why did you choose Marist?

I chose to attend Marist for a multitude of reasons but the driving force for me was the people and the sense of community I felt on-campus. I had the opportunity to visit campus a few times before making my final decision to enroll and every time I came to campus, 我感到很受欢迎, 工作人员, 教师 & 学生. I knew that attending Marist would give me the opportunities and experiences to help me grow & 在未来出类拔萃. 

What makes Marist special to you?

Marist holds a special place in my heart from my experience as an undergraduate student to my growth within the 入学 办公室 as a professional staff member. Working with prospective 学生 through the application and enrollment process is such a rewarding experience. Seeing Marist 学生 thrive through their internship, 研究, on-campus employment opportunities, 在国外的经历, and more is what makes Marist such a special place.
