Carrie's Reflection On Time At Immaculata:
"In my future, I will always look back on the lessons and experiences that Immaculata University has given me. While attending this University, I have grown in the areas of my career, my faith, and my overall confidence. Immaculata has provided me with many opportunities to succeed both in and out of the classroom. Through mission and service trips, I have learned to help others in need and have received much more than I have ever given. As an athlete, I have attained relationships with alumni, students, and faculty who have helped me to understand life lessons while playing the sport that I love the most.
Prior to attending Immaculata, I was undecided about my path of life. I entered school as an undecided major, only knowing that I was lucky to continue my soccer career. Through the guidance from God, my professors, advisors, coaches, and mentors, I was able to confidently declare my major in Elementary and Special Education. Through leadership opportunities, I was able to guide students in the classroom and on the playing field.
Immaculata University has shaped me into the person I am today. I feel confident in my abilities to lead a classroom and make a difference in others’ lives. My life will be forever changed because of my four years spent at Immaculata University. I am thankful for all of the students, faculty, and members of the IU community who have helped me throughout my unforgettable college experience."
