“As soon as I came for a visit, I knew Methodist was the school for me. My family and I visited a few other schools in the area, but they just weren’t the right fit. After visiting Methodist for a weekend and feeling the welcoming, home-like environment, I knew I didn’t need to look anywhere else. I was a sophomore in high school, and as we were pulling off campus, I told my parents that Methodist was where I wanted to go.”

OUR LIVES ARE ENRICHED BY A RIGOROUS CURRICULUM.

My MU journey has been rewarding in many ways. I engaged in community outreach programs while attending Methodist, and by being part of the women’s MU soccer team for four years, I learned how to lead by example. If you’re trying to decide on the best school for you, look for the place that is the best fit for your future and your happiness. For me, that place was Methodist. I chose MU because of the small student-to-professor ratio, the faculty, the athletics program, and the undergraduate and graduate programs. My professor and advisor, Dr. Brookman, helped me stay on track to reach my goal of becoming a physician assistant. She was always willing to take a moment to talk with me or help me with any problems. The small, family feel at Methodist made me feel like I belonged. Overall, if I had to summarize my experience at MU in one word, it would be “enriching.”

MAJORS

WE ARE EMPOWERED TO BECOME LEADERS. I would describe my MU journey as life changing. I came to Methodist as a very shy and reserved person. I got involved in the Student Government Association (SGA) during my freshman year, and through this involvement, discovered a lot about myself and my leadership capabilities. Since Methodist University is a small institution, students are able to dive in and get involved in many different clubs and organizations. I also served as the vice president for SGA. We worked together as an organization to make changes around campus and grant money to the other 100+ clubs. I served as a resident assistant, a campus ambassador, and a member of Alpha Delta Pi. I sang in different choral groups, attended Fellowship of Christian Athletes every Tuesday, and was voted Homecoming Queen and Miss Methodist.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Being involved in different areas around campus gave me the opportunity to be part of one of the first community engagement projects here at MU, the Pine Forest High School Mentor Program. We went to a local high school and mentored junior and senior high schoolers on ways to be strong role models for the incoming freshmen. This was a very rewarding experience because it allowed me to meet a lot of great people and interact with them in a positive and uplifting manner. My MU journey taught me a lot about myself and has allowed me to grow into a young adult. Methodist has prepared me for my future after college and given me great confidence in my leadership, time management, and organizational skills. I am nothing but thankful that I can call Methodist my home because of the person it has allowed me to become.

My Methodist journey is one that I wouldn’t trade for anything else. I have met so many amazing people and had so many amazing experiences throughout my journey. I can definitely say that coming to MU has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

If you’re trying to decide if Methodist is the place for you, remember that college is what you make it. No matter where you go, you can make the best of it, but MU has offered me so many opportunities—to improve my leadership skills, my faith, and myself as a person—that no other school could have offered me. — Paul Brown ’15 Mass Communications Royal Palm Beach, Florida

Campus Ministry at Methodist University provides opportunities for diverse styles of worship, Biblical study, music, community service, pursuit of justice, and leadership. Participation in Campus Ministry and its programs is optional. The mission of Campus Ministry at Methodist University is to offer the love and acceptance of Jesus Christ to all persons by planting the seeds of faith and providing a nurturing spiritual environment for the seeds to grow and develop. Every person is challenged to pursue faith freely with open hearts, open minds, and open doors. In the last four years, Methodist University students and staff members have dedicated their fall and spring breaks to completing service projects and mission work. Working with various mission organizations, Methodist University students and staff members have traveled to Belize, Nicaragua, Haiti, the Bahamas, New York City, and Georgia to work in schools and complete construction projects.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

WE ARE EMPOWERED TO GROW AS INDIVIDUALS.

I have been involved in leadership positions here on campus through my involvement with Pi Kappa Alpha, the Campus Ministry Leadership Team, SGA, athletics, and being a resident assistant. Through various organizations and the many community service projects MU offers, I have been heavily involved in community engagement. Going with work teams on mission trips to different parts of the globe has allowed me to take part in global education as well. I am majoring in mass communications and the department provides many opportunities to take part in undergraduate research.

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH AND CREATIVITY FUELS AN ENGAGING CURRICULUM. I found out about Methodist through their reputable Criminal Justice Program. As a student, I was a member of the women’s soccer team, the Gamma Sigma Epsilon (Chemistry Honor Society), Beta Beta Beta (Biology Honor Society), the Methodist University Work Team, Alpha Lambda Delta, and Omicron Delta Kappa. I was a Methodist University Ambassador and a resident assistant, and I completed an internship with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in Springfield, Va.

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH AND CREATIVITY

Methodist University really embraces undergraduate research opportunities. I participated in numerous community service projects and completed undergraduate research projects on the “Quantification of Tetrahydrozoline (THZ) in Eye Drop Samples.” My faculty advisor, Dr. Stephanie Hooper, helped me a great deal with my undergraduate research. I spent time analyzing levels of THZ in different brands of eye drops, and ultimately, my results were helpful in determining the amount of eye drops that need to be ingested to achieve the desired effects. It was an awesome experience and one that I consider to be a key factor in what has allowed me to further my education and go on to graduate school at George Washington University. During my time at MU, I was surrounded by encouraging people who made my career at Methodist even better. If I had to summarize my journey in one word, it would be, “rewarding.” — Stephanie Breitenbach ’14 Chemistry with a concentration in Forensic Science and a minor in Biology Owings, Maryland

OUR PROFESSORS ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF GETTING US ENGAGED. I first learned about Methodist when my mother took a course in German at the University. When I was choosing where to attend, I knew I was looking for a university that offered a cross-disciplinary program focused on emerging global trends. Methodist’s Global Studies Program created an environment that gave me the chance to pursue research that overlaps traditional fields, and the school’s diverse international student body gave valuable, wide-ranging alternate perspectives in the classroom. Along the way, I presented multisemester research in computational social network analysis at the State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research Symposium and Methodist’s Undergraduate Research Symposium, both of which were exhilarating experiences where I was able to gain valuable feedback. Additionally, I attended some excellent undergraduate workshops at Duke University and the NSF’s Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute—all of which were fantastic opportunities to connect with others in the fields of research I’m interested in. I worked throughout my undergraduate studies at a digital media company and consulted as a statistical programmer for a research firm. In my free time, I volunteered with open source mapping projects through the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. I am currently employed as an education analyst with RTI International in Research Triangle Park. If I had to summarize my MU journey in one word, it would be, “formative.” Methodist’s small average class size, great professors, and international students are some of its biggest advantages. If you want to actively participate in discussions and are open to learning from your fellow students, Methodist would be a good fit.

MU’s Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium, which is held annually in the spring, provides opportunities to present research and creative projects. Additionally, MU students have presented at the State of North Carolina’s Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium (SNCURCS) since 2009. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in a culture of research and creativity, apply to become an Undergraduate Research and Creativity Fellow at MU. The program is rigorous and intense, but upon completion, you will be well rounded and open minded, and you’ll have completed an experience that sets you apart from your peers at MU and other institutions.

OUR JOURNEYS ARE A COLLECTION OF EVERLASTING MEMORIES. Accepting a scholarship to attend Methodist University was probably one of the best decisions I could have made for myself, as well as for my academic development. I was not completely aware of the degree that life on another continent would shape my character and change my perspective of the world. Today, I can say with confidence that Methodist University has brought out the best in me.

ENGAGED LEARNING

MU graduates get much more than a degree. As an international student majoring in Mass Communications and pursuing a minor in Legal Studies, I was given an outstanding opportunity to develop my knowledge and acquire practical experience in media relations. Everything I learned in Mr. Trigoboff ’s classes was applicable in my work study position. Studying Mass Communications and working in the Office of University Relations afforded me a great deal of preparation. I learned the basic theories, ideas, and laws that exist in the media world. My work-study experience provided me with a perspective on presenting the news to various publics and gaining the interests of larger audiences. I have covered events on campus for the alumni magazine, written press releases, taken photos for social media sites, and assisted with marketing and branding efforts for the institution. Thanks to Ms. Wendy Vonnegut, I discovered a passion for the legal system in the United States, and gained very clear ideas about my aspirations for future employment.

Engage. Enrich. Empower.

Leaving Methodist was almost like leaving home, which is one of the reasons I decided to continue my education in MU’s MBA Program. Even though I will no longer be on campus on a daily basis, Methodist will never leave my life. I carry my experiences with me—through every single work assignment I complete, every task I accomplish, and every chance I get to implement my knowledge. My MU journey is a collection of everlasting memories, made possible by outstanding individuals.

GUEST LECTURERS AND NATIONAL NETWORKING EVENTS ENRICH THE LIVES OF OUR MONARCH FAMILY.

The exciting field of forensic science is a premier program at Methodist and I am proud to be a part of it. I have traveled to Seattle and Washington, D.C. to network with professionals in the field. The program uses the latest technology and we gain hands-on experience. The forensic science faculty at Methodist are nationally recognized, which means more networking, hands-on training, and real-life simulations. My job prospects are bright; MU graduates are employed in major cities across the nation and I am proud to be following in their footsteps.

“The Methodist University journey starts with an engaging and rigorous curriculum. Guest lecturers, community service opportunities, and student-faculty collaborative projects enrich the lives of our students and empower them to develop global perspectives. Hands-on learning opportunities ensure that students are prepared to excel in the workplace.”

Methodist University invites renowned speakers to serve as guest lecturers throughout the year. Established lecture series include the Presidential Speaker Series, Executive in Residence Lecture Series, the Bullard-Templeton Lecture Series, Terry Sanford Lecture Series, Nimocks International Business Speaker Series, Womack Lecture Series, and the Tally Leadership Lecture Series, among others.

ENGAGED LEARNING

Mr. Dave Pauly is the coordinator of the Forensic Science Program at Methodist University and a member of the Vidocq Society, which is an exclusive, members-only crime-solving society. He travels monthly to the meetings in Philadelphia and he has attended an ASIS International conference in Dallas. ASIS International is one of the most comprehensive educational networking events in the security industry.

From the moment I stepped on campus, I was drawn to Methodist. The people are warm and welcoming, and the environment is amazing. After my campus visit, I applied to MU and decided not to apply to any other colleges! My MU journey has been very enriching. I served as a resident assistant in West Hall during my freshman year and that sparked the beginning of my leadership roles on campus. Since then, I have held various positions, including serving as a head resident, as well as serving as president of the Resident Housing Association, and as recruitment chair for the National Society of Leadership and Success. I completed three internships through the Education Department at Methodist. My internship experiences have prepared me to enter the classroom on my own. I have learned so much about the public education system through my hands-on experiences in the school systems. These experiences have confirmed that teaching is my calling and I cannot wait to be a teacher!

In the classroom, I was given the opportunity to be a part of Student Leaders at Methodist (SL@M). In this program, faculty members nominate freshmen, and we participate in sessions designed to help us grow in our leadership abilities. After graduating SL@M, I was nominated to be involved in another program called the Leadership Fellows Program. This is a program that I will participate in for the next three years. The Leadership Fellows Program is designed to help me grow as a leader, not only on campus or in the classroom, but also outside of school. Finally,

during my freshman year, I was selected to be a part of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) leadership team. If you are trying to decide if MU is the place for you, I think there are a few important questions you should ask yourself. Does MU offer a degree in the field you would like to study? Do you want to attend a small school in which you will feel as though you have a family away from home? Do you want to attend a school in which your professors will truly care how you are doing in your classes? Do you want to attend a university in which you can truly make a difference before you graduate? If you answered yes to these questions, then Methodist University is the place for you. I can honestly say Methodist University is my home. I love being here, and I have never had a thought of going anywhere else. — Taylor Ross ’16 Elementary Education Elon, North Carolina

ENGAGED LEARNING

I would describe my MU journey as engaging and influential. I have been involved in two pathways of the MU journey: leadership and community engagement. During my first year at Methodist, I was given the opportunity to step into leadership positions and become part of leadership organizations. On the soccer team, I was chosen by my classmates to be the freshman captain. This position allowed me to be a positive influence and example for my fellow soccer players and gave me an even greater influence on the field. I am a goalkeeper, and my job is to be a leader and help direct my teammates in front of me. If I do not do my job on the field, it makes it more difficult on all the other players. This made me grow, not only as an individual, but more importantly, as a teammate.

THE FACULTY ENCOURAGES COLLABORATION AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING. There were two faculty members who stood out to me the most: Mr. Daniel Bennett and Dr. Pamela Strickland. Mr. Bennett was my math teacher and he was the first person in 19 years to convince me that I COULD do math. Ever since primary school, I’ve been guided by the rule that math wasn’t my biggest strength. I approached math with the assumption that I hated it and couldn’t do it. Mr. Bennett was the first math teacher who made it all so clear and simple. Eventually, I decided to become a math tutor on campus. I liked how Mr. Bennett interacted with all of the students in the classroom, no matter how big or small the class. After a few weeks into the semester, he knew the strengths and weaknesses of each of his students, and he used this knowledge when answering their questions. Mr. Bennett knew his students’ majors and where they came from; he remembered their grades and pushed them to do better on the next assignment. Every once in a while, in between explaining quadratic equations and exponential functions, he would tell a life story we could all learn from, not just for math, but for life. You couldn’t really daydream in Mr. Bennett’s class, not because he didn’t allow you to, but because he made his classes very engaging and hands-on. We didn’t just learn about math, we DID math in his classes. While tutoring math students, I never came across one student who was dissatisfied with Mr. Bennett. Dr. Pamela Strickland was another equally inspiring teacher at MU. She believed in her students and had a lot of understanding for them. If Dr. Strickland saw you trying diligently, she would reward you for it, regardless of what the grading criteria said. I loved how even though Dr. Strickland taught computational courses that usually only had one right answer to a question, she would still go through your work and tell you why your result was wrong if you didn’t get the right answer. Also, Dr. Strickland was very good at seeing things through students’ eyes. Even though she had a Ph.D. in Accounting, she understood that she was teaching new material and explained everything from the simplest accounting terminology to complex equations. Dr. Strickland taught me the principles of accounting—another scary, unfamiliar subject with numbers. I just wanted to pass and move on with my life, but Dr. Strickland did such an amazing job that I instantly fell in love the subject and even decided to pursue a degree in accounting.

MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES EMPOWER YOU TO FIND YOUR ‘ONE THING.’ My MU journey has been astounding. Since my freshman year, I was involved with many leadership opportunities. I participated in community engagement through both domestic and international mission trips. I served as a mentor with the Peer Mentor Program that partnered with Pine Forest High School, and trained students to become mentors to their peers. My leadership activities ranged from being a senator my freshman year to serving as the chief justice for Student Government. I also had the opportunity to be a part of the MU Master Plan, on search committees for the president and dean of students, on the Honor Board and Judicial Appeal Board, and to serve as a student ambassador for Admissions. As a Methodist University Ambassador, I loved advising all prospective students in ways to get involved on campus. I would tell students to find their “one thing,” and if that club or organization is not offered, then to create it. Find something that is meaningful to you.

At Methodist, it’s important to find your identity and what makes you who you are. The sky is the limit.

The Criminal Justice Forensic Science Association (CJFSA) is a club that is meaningful to me and offers many networking opportunities. Through this club, I had the honor of interning with the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) during the summer, and the experience has been that of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Since I am a firefighter, I was able to focus on arson investigating, which is something I am very passionate about. I have always wanted to become a part of the SBI, and now, through my involvement at Methodist, my dream has come true.

I found Methodist University while searching for schools online. It was the faculty and staff who convinced me to attend. I truly believe Methodist has the right people in the right places.

DISCUSSION-ORIENTED CLASSES ENCOURAGE ENGAGED LEARNING. “The beautiful campus drew me in, but what really made me realize that this was my college was the sense of community, not just among the students, but with the teachers as well. I feel like I always have someone to go to for advice on this campus.” — Erin Fegley ‘15 Biology Morehead City, North Carolina

STUDENT-FACULTY COLLABORATION

If I had to summarize my experience at MU in one word, it would be “understanding.” There are people from different backgrounds and countries, and all of them have stories to tell. Overall, Methodist has tons of opportunities to make it a great fit for you. Classroom sizes are small, which make it easier to learn and build a relationship with your teachers. You will not regret coming to Methodist since there is always something to do, and the close friends you meet will become lifetime friends. —B rian Hockaday ’14 Accounting Staten Island, New York

From being part of the first class of BSN students, to starting a National Student Nurses Association chapter at the University, to joining the Alpha Delta Pi sorority, my journey at Methodist University has been full of excitement and new adventures. I served as president of the Student Nurses Association at Methodist University, as well as president of the North Carolina Association of Nursing Students. I also served as chaplain for a year in my sorority. As part of the Student Nurses Association and a member of Alpha Delta Pi, I participated in many community engagement projects throughout my time at Methodist, such as volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House and taking part in the March of Dimes March for Babies walk. I enjoyed being a student in the School of Health Sciences and it is exciting to see Methodist grow in this evolving field.

INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES ENABLE US TO EXCEL. The thing that is so different about Methodist (and truthfully my deciding factor) is the environment that is created by the people. Everyone here is genuinely interested in me as a person and cares about my personal success during my college experience. Even though I am 16 hours away from my real home, the people at MU make me feel like I am at home. Methodist immediately adopted me into the community and into the family. I knew right away that I couldn’t possibly receive better treatment anywhere else. While at Methodist, I completed an internship every summer. I interned at Hidden Creek Golf Club in New Jersey and The Broadmoor in Colorado, and I spent five months working at Cape Cod National in Massachusetts. All three internships were absolutely amazing experiences and they offered the hands-on application that no class could possibly replace. Additionally, internship opportunities provide you with the ability to grow your network while meeting outstanding mentors in the industry. My internships were honestly some of the best experiences I had through my college career, which is saying a lot because I had so many enjoyable moments during my years here at Methodist.

“One of the cornerstones of our athletic program has always been our coaches and student-athletes being heavily involved in community engagement projects. While we take great pride both in our academic and athletic accomplishments, giving back and helping others is an integral and key part of the student-athlete experience at MU. Our coaches and student-athletes are involved in over a dozen such activities annually, which include ‘Pink Zone’ events for breast cancer awareness, hosting Special Olympic competitions, elementary school reading programs, and a canned food drive.”

MU helped prepare me for pharmacy school in so many ways. The small class sizes and my professors’ open door policies allowed me to have one-on-one learning experiences. I was able to grasp concepts at a much higher level. Outside of the classroom, I was involved on campus. Every mentor I came in contact with during my journey at MU stressed the importance of being involved. By taking their advice, I learned how to meet new people and how to manage my time. All of these experiences prepared me for a great start in graduate school. Now that I’m in pharmacy school, I’ve been able to apply so much of my experiences from MU, and I truly believe this has put me a step ahead of others. When preparing for my future, I know that MU was the right choice.

WE BELIEVE IN SERVICE. I graduated from the Physician Assistant (PA) Program at Methodist University, but I attended MU as an undergrad as well. When I came to Methodist for my campus visit, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. I knew right away that Methodist would be a place that I could call home. The faculty and staff are so approachable and open to questions—you can tell they really want you to succeed. I majored in biology with a concentration in health occupation science, and minored in chemistry and leadership studies. I also took advantage of many of the extracurricular opportunities at Methodist, including cross country, track and field, Alpha Delta Pi, and Women’s Bible Study, all of which enabled me to develop valuable skills and relationships. Being a Methodist graduate gave me an advantage in the PA Program’s admission process. In addition to ensuring that I met the admission requirements, MU students are also given the first interviews, and therefore, the first opportunities for acceptance in the competitive admission process. The program is very demanding, but I enjoyed my time in the classroom with practicing PAs and doctors, in our state-of-the-art lab, and in clinical rotations, where I worked with doctors and PAs, and practiced my skills under their supervision. I found a job almost immediately after graduation and feel very confident in my ability to do what I have been trained to do. I love my job and enjoy serving my patients. Methodist provided me with the opportunities I needed to develop the skills and character that allowed me to succeed in my professional, spiritual, and personal life. If you want to build real, lasting relationships while receiving a quality education, then Methodist is the place for you.

WE HAVE A PASSION FOR PEOPLE. Visiting Methodist and seeing the size and feel of the campus convinced me that this was the right place for me. I really liked the campus when I came for the tour, and I have continued to enjoy it since. My MU journey has been made up of leadership and community engagement. On campus, I am a resident assistant (RA) in one of the residence halls. This experience has definitely helped me achieve greater leadership skills, not only with my residents but also within the community. I have taken advantage of an opportunity to visit some elementary schools in the area and read to the little kids. Through cheerleading, I have been able to be in the Christmas Parade that happens downtown. I am always busy and love every minute of it!

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

“There is not a time when I stop thinking about community involvement, whether through blood drives, the public schools, food shelters, or church. Giving back to someone else is the only way I can truly enjoy the blessings that God grants me every day. I developed this perspective during the fall break mission trip to St. Simons Island, Georgia.”

“As a freshman, I was so nervous about sharing a living space with girls I’d never met before, especially since I’d never shared a room with anyone. Little did I know that my roommate and suitemates would become my best friends. From living in the residence hall during my freshman year, to having the privilege to move into the Alpha Delta Pi house during my sophomore year, the sense of family within the residence halls is amazing. Methodist University isn’t just a school, it has given me a home.”

I would describe my MU journey as an unending roller coaster ride of adventure. I tend to venture into every branch of study or involvement that I possibly can, often to find the options and resources at Methodist University much to my benefit. I have learned so much about the world and myself through my experiences during the past four years, which include serving as a resident assistant (RA) and being a part of over a dozen organizations. I chose to attend Methodist because its “home away from home” feel made me grow comfortable in transitioning from high school

to college. As a resident assistant, I extended that at-home feel to my residents. If you’re hoping for a college with small class sizes, one-on-one time with professors, various clubs, and collegiate intramural sports, MU is the place for you.

When applying for college in the U.S., there were many choices, but Methodist University stood out the most. Coming from the Bahamas, I was a bit apprehensive at first, but the warm and welcoming environment was very engaging for international students. There are people here who are concerned about your educational and personal success. The professors have real-world experience and the classes are small. As a rising junior, I can truly say it was the right choice to come here. At Methodist, I have been involved in leadership development. I have learned about effective leadership skills through the Lura S. Tally Center for Leadership Development, as well as attending various conferences and workshops. I have been a part of Student Leaders at Methodist, which prepared me for leadership on campus during my freshman year. I am also part of the Monarch Leaders Program, which has guided me into becoming a well-rounded student.

I can say the most enjoyable part of my MU journey has been acting as a First Year Experience Resident Assistant. I have been able to guide first year students and orient them into college life.

Campaign for Methodist University u Building Excellence

Be part of something larger.

The University is in the second phase of a 25-year Master Plan, the signs of which are everywhere on campus while construction, renovation, and other improvement projects are underway. Some of the completed projects are the new Nursing Building and North Hall, new sidewalks and landscaping, and the entrance and streetscape improvements on the edge of campus that runs along Ramsey Street. As we move into the next stages, most major structures on campus will receive expansions and face lifts, as the University is transformed by the architects’ robust and exciting vision. When you are here, you will be part of this exciting process. Further aspects of the plan involve the construction of a Health Sciences Building, new residence halls, expanding the Trustees classroom building, renovations to the library, and upgraded and expanded athletic facilities.

Two major parts of the Master Plan are extensive expansions and renovations to Berns Student Center and Reeves Auditorium. In the student center, there will be new food service areas, an expanded campus student store, student recreation spaces, services, and learning centers. Reeves will add a multipurpose space which will serve as an auditorium, worship center, and recital hall, as well as a new lobby and entrance area. When the three-phase project is finished, most major structures on campus will have received expansions and face lifts, and the University will be transformed. It’s a great time to be a Monarch!

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES

Methodist University remembers and gives thanks to Kathryn Wasserman Davis. Known for challenging today’s students to work effectively toward ensuring lasting peace in the world, Methodist University students took her vision to heart, and acted boldly on her desire for world peace. Recently, “Educating Future Leaders,” a project initiated by Natalie Matthews and Busiswa Vilakazi, was selected to receive funding in 2014. Esra’a Al-Shawafi’s project, “Sewing and Business Skills for Economical and Peaceful Integration of Women in Society” was selected in the summer of 2013. In 2012, Nyoma Clement Nickonora and Talata Evers (South Sudan) engaged in a global peace project with fellow South Sudanese student Joy Minalla. Their project was titled, “Rebuilding the Ruins and Promoting Peace.” In 2011, “Collecting Smiles in Srebrenica” was spearheaded by Anna Causevic, Dzenana Dzanic, Emina Hodzic, and Samra Mrkovic. Davis Projects for Peace award recipients from 2007–2010 include Fredy Oxom, Camilo Rubiano, Milca Baptista, Heather Eckhardt, Marco Marin, Gladys Michelle Reyes Chiapas, Sana Sabri, Rahila Muhibi, and Husein Nasiro-Sigo.

The opportunity to study abroad was one of the reasons I chose to attend Methodist University. As a student, I visited Cadiz, Spain; Dublin, Ireland; and Panajachel, Guatemala. My trip to Spain enhanced my proficiency in the Spanish language. When you’re in the country, you have no choice but to learn by doing—you are learning, walking, talking, and thinking in Spanish. My favorite trip was my trip to Guatemala. Despite various economic hardships, the Guatemalan people were loyal, generous, and happy. They fully understand the situations they are going through and they still have faith and hope, and they value family. My experiences abroad make me want to continue traveling. I would love to go to Brazil, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Costa Rica, and China. I love the Spanish language, and eventually, I would like to become fluent in the language.

At Methodist, I enjoyed being part of multiple clubs and organizations. I was able to balance eight plus organizations at a time, all while playing volleyball and dancing on the dance team. From serving as the president of the Chemistry Club and as the vice president for the International Business Club to being a peer mentor and a University Ambassador, I will miss being the girl who does everything on campus. I’ve had to work for everything I accomplished at Methodist and my experiences have made me appreciate life, travel, and myself. — Brittany McCoy ’14 Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry and minors in Spanish and Math Smithfield, North Carolina

Methodist University has not stopped evolving since my freshman year. Every semester brings new opportunities and campus growth. During my time here, I’ve felt empowered to grow as both a scholar and an individual, and I’ve learned how to overcome obstacles. I’ve created my own place here on campus by getting involved and leading some of the organizations and causes I believe in. As a part of the International Club, the Sociology Club, the Honors Lector Club, Pi Alpha Delta, and the MUN Club, I’ve engaged in an environment that has challenged me in new ways while pursuing my extracurricular interests. I have also helped our campus become a more diverse and accepting place by being a founding member of the first LGBTQA organization on campus, Unseal It.

Study abroad destinations include: u Australia u Iceland u Brazil u Ireland u Canada u Japan u Chile u Korea u C olombia u Mexico u France u Spain u Honduras

The Methodist family is a small, yet diverse community of individuals with much potential. I am happy I chose to attend MU. I have been able to build close relationships with both faculty and students. Being a part of a small campus allows any student to become an important part of the community dynamic, and the friendships I’ve formed during my time here have made me feel like I’m at home.

Some programs focus on a particular field of study; other programs offer a general curriculum. Most students are able to fulfill graduation requirements and maintain progress toward a degree while studying abroad.

When my sophomore year was coming to an end, I started applying for study abroad. I knew even before I came to MU that I would study in a different country at least once in my four years, and so I did! First semester junior year, I spent the entire semester in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia! It was the most amazing experience of my life, and I learned so much about myself and the world. I cannot wait to travel again! — Laura Baker ’14 Chemistry Lincolnton, North Carolina

“My challenge to you is to bring about a mind-set of preparing for peace instead of preparing for war.” — Kathryn Wasserman Davis Davis Projects for Peace

WE RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF THE WORLD AROUND US. Students come in all forms, but here at Methodist University, the non-traditional students like myself serve to enhance the diversity. I am an accounting and business administration major, and a 32-year-old combat veteran, military wife, and parent. Every day is a careful balancing act of whatever life happens to throw at me, and studying. After my Army service, I really wanted to make the most of my educational opportunities, while proudly representing the community of veterans here in Fayetteville. I left the military “Army Strong,” as the saying goes, but I wanted to be intellectually strong as well. That is why I applied to the Honors Program. Since joining, the Honors Program has instilled in me critical thinking skills that I could never have gained through any other course here at Methodist University, or anywhere else for that matter. The classes are intimate, with an open-minded seminar environment. The professors expect intellectual investment from all the students, and we work very hard to meet those expectations. They motivate us to read, examine, and assess great books in ways that we can apply to other aspects of our lives. The program definitely pushed me to challenge myself. Even with my obligations, the time and investment required for this program is 100 percent worth the rewards and benefits. I can’t count how many times these skills have been successfully applied to my other studies. The Honors Program is not just for the traditional students, and I truly believe highly motivated and dedicated veterans will benefit from this program as immensely as I did.

WE MOVE FORWARD WITH HONORS. THE HONORS PROGRAM Mission The Honors Program is a reading and seminar discussion program that immerses students in the Great Books as a supplement to the University’s cores and majors.

If the students pass the quiz, they are allowed to participate in that day’s activity, where the class works with the content in a meaningful and interactive way through group discussion… My students have been more engaged, and now I know well before each exam what students know, and how they think and feel about the subject at hand.” — Dr. Scott Marosek Assistant Professor of Music

“Many students come to me thinking that mathematics is a set of procedures for solving certain types of problems. To show them that mathematics is actually the process of reasoning from what is known to conclusions about the unknown, I have them work in groups of three with everyone at the board. I give them a problem and ask leading questions to help them discover a path to the solution. They strengthen their communication skills as well as their reasoning abilities. No two classes are ever the same, but they are always lively!”

Graduation from a physical therapist education program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), 1111 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, VA 22314; phone; 703.706.3245; accreditation@apta.org is necessary for eligibility to sit for the licensure examination, which is required in all states. Methodist University is seeking accreditation of a new physical therapist education program from CAPTE. The program will submit an Application for Candidacy, which is the formal application required in the pre-accreditation stage. Submission of this document does not assure that the program will be granted Candidate for Accreditation status. Achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status is required prior to implementation of the professional phase of the program; therefore, no students may be enrolled in professional courses until Candidate for Accreditation status has been achieved. Further, though achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status signifies satisfactory progress toward accreditation, it does not assure that the program will be granted accreditation.
