Home Away From Home

Transcript

Let’s go to Sean, a senior in GMercyU’s 3+2 Bachelors and Masters Program for Occupational Therapy. Whether students choose to live in the residence halls or commute to campus, Griffins find their home away from home at GMercyU. The warm and inclusive campus allows students to be themselves and find friends that last a lifetime. Tell us more, Sean.

– Thank you, guys. I’ll see you later. Thanks, Alex. Deciding on a college can be stressful, but GMercyU made the process stress-free and simple. My mom is a GMercyU graduate and seeing firsthand how much she benefited from her time here, I knew this institution would be the right fit for me. Knowing I wanted to be an occupational therapy practitioner, it was important for me to find a program that stood out from the rest. Our unique occupational science undergraduate degree is more than just a program. It’s a pathway to success in occupational therapy graduate school. Not many schools offer this, but here, we’re preparing for the future. At GMercyU education, is more than just learning skills for a job. It’s about learning how to be a good person who makes a difference in their community. GMercyU fosters a meaningful educational experience where I’ve discovered the immense positive impact this community has on its students, and I knew I had to be involved. I’m president of our world renowned choir, the Voices of Gwynedd… ♪ A spirit faithful put us in God’s presence ♪ ♪ In mercy… ♪ A member of our Student Occupational Therapy Association and a Resident Assistant. Living on campus provides me with opportunity to be independent and discover who I am while finding my home away from home. I’ve lived on campus throughout my entire time here and I’ve met so many new people. The residence halls at GMercyU are more than just living spaces. They’re nurturing grounds for student growth. Being able to foster this environment as a resident assistant is something I take great pride in. Being able to immerse myself in GMercyU’s community has been nothing but beneficial since day one. I have no doubt that when I graduate, I’ll be prepared to enter the workforce as an occupational therapist with distinct skills both personally and professionally, shaped by my time here at Gwynedd Mercy University. Back to you, Alex.

– Thanks for sharing your story, Sean. Loyola Hall is home to first year students and new amenities like A/C in every single room and superfast Wi-Fi. Next up, is a new quad area where students can hang out. There’s no place like home, but GMercyU is a close second. Thanks again.
