  • Alum Zach Nibbelink looks at the camera while sitting in an Apache helicopter cockpit.
    "Taking a wide range of courses outside of my major made me more well-versed in topics that I may not otherwise have been exposed to. My Political Science degree gave me base-level knowledge of foreign affairs and political climates throughout the world."
  • Mike Bucci '15
    “I felt like I didn’t have just one faculty mentor – I felt like I had an entire department of faculty mentors. That doesn’t end in the classroom but extends to guiding you through your academic career and figuring out what your post-academic career might look like.”
  • Kim Clemens is an Art Therapist
    “I like to call art therapy symbolic speech. Art therapy is a creative and expressive way to explore emotions, relationships, boundaries and functioning using process and product-oriented artistic means.”
