In the years after I graduated I hopped around a few times looking for employment I enjoyed. I ended up returning to the College and working in the Admissions Office. Through that I found a career in higher education. Now I'm attending graduate school for a degree in College Student Personnel Administration. I love it!
I'm currently a full-time graduate student at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. My program is a Masters of Education in College Student Personnel Administration but I also hold a Graduate Assistant position in the Pre-Medical Center at Canisius as an adviser. I enjoy working in higher education with college students.
The education I received was more than just books and lectures. The College as a whole instilled in me a deeper understanding of God's truth and how it relates to this world. Of course, the skills and abilities needed to succeed (communication, critical thinking, and analysis) were taught in all aspects of my degree but also the personal interactions I had.
I would say that Dr. Stanton, the Chair of the Political Science Department, had the most influence as my mentor. He was a straight-shooter and not afraid to hold me to a higher standard as a student, thinker, and man. His passion for students was evident in our interactions and his unwavering expectations for my academic and personal conduct propelled me forward.
