51Æ·²è

My time at Marywood has helped me to grow as an individual both personally and academically. During my time at Marywood I was able to find my confidence and passion through the architecture program learning how design with communities and allow space for conversations to happen.

I was also able to continue my love for soccer in playing for the 51Æ·²è Women’s Soccer team for the first four years of my undergrad. Finally I found myself in a position to take on leadership roles within this amazing community both within and beyond my department between the multiple honors organizations and service opportunities on campus.

My time at Marywood has been extraordinary and I couldn’t imagine having lived and learned anywhere else!

“There is not enough thanks I could say to all the Marywood donors. With the tremendous and outstanding donations, you are the ones who make it possible for students like me to become successful. You help make our dreams come true. Many of us would not be here if not for your generous gifts."

I’ve had a great experience at Marywood, the professors are great and it feels like a family atmosphere.

I chose Marywood because, from the minute I stepped onto campus, I just felt so welcome and excited. The Marywood community is unmatched in its closeness, friendliness, and unity.

My favorite thing about Marywood is how welcoming of an environment it is. I remember my freshman year going through a period of shock at how kind and friendly everyone really is, and I felt like there was a certain standard of kindness to live up to.

Throughout my time at Marywood, every club and organization I’ve joined has welcomed me with open arms and brought me lifelong friends.

I really enjoyed earning my Master's degree in Reading Education at 51Æ·²è through the online program. I was able to take classes online while still working full time as a substitute teacher. My professors were extremely helpful, especially during the pandemic and were always very responsive. Although I did not spend much time on the Marywood campus, their online community made my experience as a graduate student meaningful. This program has prepared me for my career as a teacher and helped me land my first job as an educator.
