“I chose The University of Findlay because of the people that make up
the school. The teachers, faculty and staff at the University really
seem like they care about the success of the students. I think that it
is important to have people around that truly care about you, especially
when you are in such an important stage of your life.”
He was also involved with the First-Year Experience program as a peer
mentor. “Being a peer mentor for freshman was an incredible experience
that I wouldn’t trade for anything. One thing that I really looked
forward to doing every week was working with my First-Year
Experience
class,” Jeremy remarked. “I love being able to help the freshmen out
around campus. Being a role model for my first-year class and knowing
that the students look up to me is something else that I really liked
about being a peer mentor.”
“Working with people around campus has really taught me how to adjust to
different personalities. Being a resident assistant and a First-Year
Experience peer mentor has been a great way for me to meet lots of
people around campus,” said Jeremy. “Because I one day hope to become a
psychologist, I think the things I’ve experienced over the past two
years have really helped me learn how to conduct myself in a
professional manner.”

“The University of Findlay offers great opportunities for students to
become involved, develop friendships and succeed academically,” said
Ashley. “Through a few of my professors who advocate civic engagement
and service learning, I learned about several different volunteer
opportunities in the city of Findlay which I became involved in.”
One of Ashley’s volunteer activities includes the “Walking School Bus”
in which she supervises local elementary
school students as they walk
home from school, making sure they arrive home safely.
“These off-campus activities have helped me apply concepts outside the
classroom. My college experience would not be the same without my
experiences in the community,” said Ashley. “The University of Findlay
has exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to any student who
is looking to be challenged.”
