Indiana University Southeast Interviews

My desire as a child to travel the world led me to my education at Pace University, first of my many destinations. The teaching methodology, the process of assigning homework, the serene atmosphere in the campus and the ever-helping faculty and staff have already instilled confidence in me. This has helped me ease out of my comfort zone to explore and innovate. Gaining my higher education in America has exposed me to a whole new set of scholastic vocabularies such as credit hours, GPA, courses, Greek life involving sororities and fraternities and

Franklin University is my first and only choice for graduate school. Franklin has provided me access to professional and educated faculty members, an accessible online campus learning environment, and a culture that meets my requirements. It’s my belief graduate school requires hard work, discipline, desire, and time. These are the values that I possess as an individual, student, employee, and steward to my community. My undergraduate grades reflect not only my outstanding performance at Franklin University, but my capability to succeed.

I have been given the opportunity to explore several degree options and I am content with my selection in The Department Leadership and Integrative Studies program. A program only offered at Kennesaw State, The Integrative Studies Program (INTS) is a unique

When people hear the word “college”, many panic inside at the thought. But, when I hear the word “college” I think about Illinois State University. In early July, I attended an Open House at ISU for my very first official college visit. As I stepped onto campus, I couldn’t but help to feel like it was my future home. Many aspects of the tour made me draw nearer to choosing this college after finishing my High School career. Illinois State University seems to fit my personality very well, has an amazing program for what I want to study, and is an outstanding campus for my academic strengths and weaknesses.

Eastern New Mexico University is the optimal choice for me because the faculty cherishes the success of the students. The first time I visited Eastern, I was fortunate enough to meet with Mr. Seifert, who truly inspired me to make my decision to attend ENMU. After our initial conversation, he gave me a tour of the music building. His generosity with his time meant a lot to me. This particular touch shows the integrity of the university as unpretentious and attentive, which is incredibly refreshing specifically at the university level. The stereotypical thought of college to a high school student is that college is a frenzy, with students left to fend for themselves, in a high pressure, an almost impossible atmosphere. My impression of eastern is that the entirety of the university is involved in the success of the

Kim Millam was my direct supervisor for my first five years at Lakeland. It is not a secret that Kim has dedicated well over 30 years of service to Lakeland Community College. I have only known her for a brief six years, but I have come to realize how much she is dedicated to the mission of Lakeland’s students, faculty and staff.

Frostburg State University now consists of housing over 150 student organizations, three different colleges, and over 80 specialized programs for students to study. The university also offers some very unique programs like our honors program, for students with outstanding grades and SAT scores. Other programs include the Learning Communities where incoming freshmen take some of the same classes to offer support when making the transition from high school college. The mission statement of Frostburg State University explains how the university offers, “student-centered teaching,” that features experiential learning opportunities. The mission statement further explains how the university offers many bachelors, masters, and doctoral programs. Lastly Frostburg State University, “promotes cultural enrichment, civic responsibility, and sustainability; and prepares future leaders to meet the challenges of a complex and changing global society. I believe that everything expressed in the mission statement of the university proves to be true. This is due to the experiences, and opportunities that I have participated in during my time thus far at Frostburg State

I wish to attend Texas A&M because the academics and atmosphere promise superlative growth for me during my college education. Because I intend to pursue a career in business, I see the Mays School of Business as the epitome of education. Focused on a business environment that is full of constant change and evolving technical resources, Texas A&M would give me the confidence that I am receiving the most forward-focused business education. Texas A&M provides an atmosphere that would allow my personality to thrive. The campus spirit brings a sense of community and belonging. While walking on campus during visits, I recognize a warm, joyful and welcoming atmosphere that I could call home. The robust loyalty to the University and fellow

I contemplated several people for my second interview; nevertheless, the most logical person that I could interview was Dr. Cieslicka. I have always been fascinated with her European culture, and it became the logical decision. The interview was conducted in her office, and I was embarrassed at first, nonetheless, Dr. Cieslicka made me feel comfortable and at ease.

To me, Case Western Reserve University symbolizes everything that an individual could, and should, want to be a part of. World-renowned academic excellence, top notch facilities, and an unmatched commitment to its students are all things that make Case Western Reserve University a dream institution. For the longest, the only thing I knew about Case was its undergraduate programs. As I was getting ready to apply undergraduate programs, I received numerous brochures and letters from the institution filled with information. In the end, I decided to stay closer to home for family reasons.

Within the clubs that I am actively involved with, such as Healthy Hawks and Students against Destructive Decisions (SADD), I would fit perfectly at Indiana University-Bloomington. I was recently elected as Vice President of Healthy Hawks, which allowed me to take on the role of promoting the importance of a healthy lifestyle to my peers. My experience in these clubs reflects the enjoyment I get

The person I interviewed for this assignment was Professor Steve Rivera. He is a professor at Christian Brothers University (CBU). Mr. Rivera is the department chair for the adult program and the department chair in the psychology department for CBU. He has a bachelor’s degree, -EdD in Counseling Education Supervision, and is a Licensed School Counselor. The interview took place in Mr. Rivera’s office at Christian Brothers on June 17, 2016 at approximately 1:30 P.M. We decided to meet there due to the limited time we had since he had summer classes later on that day. Even though Mr. Rivera had a desk in his office, he set two chair aside for the interview so we could be face to face instead of him being on one side of the desk and me on the other. His approach told me that he was very excited and motivated to help me with this project. After going to the MSU counseling center and emailing the only counselors that could be available, I could not arrange an interview with any of them. Not finding anybody in Starkville I called the counseling center at the University for Women in Columbus, MS only to find out that both of the counselors there were already booked for our class. A conversation about my project then started between a close friend of mine that goes to CBU. I mentioned that I had not been able to find an available counselor to interview. To my luck she mentioned that her professor from the previous semester was a counselor. She gave me his contact

There were many ways I could have gone about writing this essay, the needless use of big words to convey simple points, the insertion of irrelevant long quotes just to make the minimum page requirement, but this is the last undergraduate essay I will ever write. If I will write, I might as well write with my best effort and in my own style. Reflecting over my journey these last five years has been difficult. These years have been filled with so many trials and tribulations that it feels as though a lifetime has passed since I first set foot on the campus of Baylor University, yet at the same time it feels as though it went by so fast, I merely blinked and it was over. I can honestly say the Baylor Interdisciplinary Curriculum (BIC) is my greatest and most precious takeaway from my undergraduate experience. It was in the BIC that I learned to enlarge my perspective, become more fully aware of myself, and become prepared for leadership and service. I have been challenged by the BIC and to my surprise, I rose to the challenge. This experience cannot be fully explained without evaluating and reflecting upon the various worlds, lives, and cultures explored in the BIC and how they are personally related to me.

Young, ambitious women from all over the country participated in this program, full of innovative classes and discussions about business, which were lead by Kelley professors. The experience on IU’s campus was unforgettable and is one of the main reasons I hope to attend IU. If admitted into IU, I hope to receive direct admission into Kelley School of Business and double-major in Business and International Relations, and minor in Spanish. I plan on studying abroad and continuing studying foreign languages to increase my understanding of international cultures. I value Kelley’s method of education that forces its students to be eclectic through its innovative I-Core program that focuses on four different perspectives of business: Finance, Management, Marketing, and Operations. One of my goals while on campus is to live in the Kelley Living Learning Center so I can meet with people with similar passions for business, as well as learn to network amongst my peers. My main academic goals at IU would be to enroll in the Hutton Honors College, Kelley Honors programs, and Kelley’s Women in Business program. As a woman, I understand that power isn’t given to you, you must work for it, and Kelley embodies
