The small campus community coupled with faculty who were not only interested in my academic success but also my personal growth played a huge role in where I currently find myself professionally. As a Computer Science major in a liberal arts college, I was tasked with studying far more than bits and bytes - classes in philosophy, sociology and economics caused me to reason beyond the walls of the computer science discipline.
I was able to do several study abroad trips which opened a whole new world of possibilities and experiences for me and for that, I am forever grateful. Because so much of my time at Hanover was spent learning and interacting with people, I have been successful in the work I do now. Hanover helped prepare me to be a good team player, to communicate effectively and to find joy in the unknown.
The fundamental tools that we utilize: written and verbal communication, individual and teambased critical thinking, a broad appreciation for cultural, economic, and social considerations for our patients… and the ability to have respectful and informed debate for challenging problems with unclear solutions, are timeless. It’s precisely this problem solving approach that I learned at Hanover College and it’s why I look for individuals with these skills when I’m recruiting talent today.
