“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.”
“My professors played an enormous, fundamental role in developing my interests. I remember receiving graded papers that were full of comments, going into office hours to discuss what research method to use, and having lunch or coffee and talking about a conference or just general questions I had about what to do after college.”
“Here at McDaniel, imaginative learning opportunities, spanning everything from the arts and letters – to our innovation and entrepreneurship programs, have broadened and inspired you. And this year, McDaniel leadership and faculty, who brilliantly reimagined living and learning on the Hill, became their own shining example. Throughout your pursuits of the liberal arts and sciences, you have discovered imagination at work.”
"McDaniel taught me to think critically, and this helped me tremendously at Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry, This helped me to excel, graduating in the top 5 percent of my class."
“The parts of medicine that I really liked — and what I loved about my education at McDaniel — were thinking creatively and systematically, working within teams and learning to cherish getting to know people’s stories.”
“I eventually went to law school — I liked the idea of creating policy and frameworks that help guide society — but I still had hopes that at some point I would get into the music industry. I thought it was a pipe dream.”
I’ll never forget the breadth of education and encouragement on the Hill. At McDaniel, I learned how to continue to pursue my dreams — even if they changed over time.”
