One Gift You Bring to MDI: The gift of exhortation

Why MDI?

I chose MDI because we both share similar values that I believe can help shape the student's relationship with God, as well as help them grow in all aspects of their lives. I want to use this as an opportunity to spread the gospel and bring people into the love of Christ.

Why Marian University?

I chose Marian University because compared to other schools, Marian felt more like a second home to me. I wanted to be part of a community that was inclusive and a community that I could see myself living in for the four years of my undergraduate school.
