The Siena Effect

Transcript

Meet Wilhelm, an international student who has benefited from the support of advisors and staff who come alongside the journey to ensure success. Wilhelm, please take it away.

– Thanks Alex. Hey everyone. Soccer has been a huge part of my life since I was little. When I arrived at Siena Heights University, I wasn’t really sure about my major, but I knew that I wanted to study somewhere along the lines of athletic and training. I knew the SHU was the right place for me since the beginning. The Center for Student Success gave me full assistance in planning the vast college program that would fit me. My advisor helped me choose a major in Exercise Science, which really led my passion for sports into my future professional career. Being an international student, they create a plan to help me pay my tuition and even award me an athletic scholarship. They make it affordable for anyone to attain and offer many scholarship opportunities. The staff had made the whole process so simple and helped me make this place feel like another home. With Siena Heights University being a liberal arts school, there is so much diversity. They helped me gain knowledge beyond just my major. My professors and advisor have been so helpful in leading me to my next step and have been focused on helping me prepare for my future from the start. Now I’m not only involved as a student ambassador, but I also serve as International Admissions Council for Siena Heights University. Now my professors and I are working to set up my internship as I head toward my senior year. They are making sure that I’m completing all of the final steps so I can get into the job that I have always dreamed of. I’ve prepare for my future and I’m excited to see where I go next. Thanks for listening. Alex, over to you now.

– Thank you Wilhelm.
