One Gift You Bring to MDI: Understanding

Why MDI?

I wanted to be a part of MDI because I love working with others, especially those younger than me. I enjoy serving those around me and making a difference in others lives. I also wanted to be a part of MDI because I love the idea of helping high school students with their faith journey. I would have loved to have someone help me with my faith during my time in high school and I feel that I was called to be that someone for these high school students.

Why Marian University?

I chose to come to Marian University because of my family and my involvement with it. My grandparents and parents all went to Marian back when it was Marian College. I grew up coming to Marian for football games and have been coming here before it became Marian University. Marian feels like a second home to me and it is such a special place to me and my family, which made it my only choice when looking at colleges. I also love all of the opportunities that Marian has because of its location and all the clubs and activities that are on campus.
