Let’s head over to meet Maysoon. She’s a freshman biomedical engineering major from Falls Church, Virginia pursuing a minor in mathematics, not to mention she’s also in the honors program. Maysoon is excited for the excellent STEM programs Catholic has to offer. On to you, Maysoon.

– Hey, everyone. I’ve always been interested in medicine and mathematics, and here at the Catholic University of America, I can study both. I’m a biomedical engineering student with a minor in mathematics within the pre-med track. Catholic University’s growing number of female students within the STEM programs makes it an excellent place for women to study these fields. One of the main reasons why I chose the Catholic University of America is for its excellent academics. The honors program is second to none. In addition to attending the lectures and labs, I’m also excited for the many experiences obtained through internships and connections. DC is full of them. Typically, people are surprised that I, a Muslim student, decided to attend the Catholic University of America, especially as an advocate for Muslims, but I see this as an opportunity to learn about those who are different than myself, while also teaching the truth about my religion. I’d like to explore our similarities while also admitting our differences and embracing them, rather than seeing ’em as a limitation. I look forward to becoming part of the Catholic University community. When I first visited campus and met staff and students, I felt welcome, especially through all the events hosted prior to classes. Our admissions team and campus tour guides made me feel instantly connected, and part of the Catholic University community. I fell in love with the open-minded and kind community, and the beautiful campus in the heart of the city. Catholic University’s strong engineering programs allow students to connect with their professors, obtain internships, and learn from experts. Prior to starting class, I had already met multiple professors and the Dean of the Engineering School. This is possible because of the small and tight knit community at the Catholic University of America. That’s all from me. Back to you, Alex. 

Awesome. Good luck, Maysoon on your new journey at Catholic University. It is no lie that this campus is absolutely beautiful with all the greenery. We are all rooting for you. Take care.
