The DelVal Community with Zuzanna

Transcript

Okay, now it’s time to hear from Zuzanna. She is from Poland, a senior business management major, who will also graduate next year with their MBA in DelVal’s four plus one program. And she’s gonna show us a different perspective on what community means here at DelVal, Zuzanna.

Hi everyone! Four years ago I was given an amazing opportunity to pursue a bachelor degree in one of the American universities. Coming to the United States from Poland, and country this far away, it was a big deal. And I can tell you how glad I am it turned out to be DelVal.

Freshman year is a big adjustment, no matter how far you come, whether it’d be 30 minutes from the house or the other side of the world like me. The homesickness is the feeling that pretty much everyone gets. But DelVal, the inclusiveness of community helps you get rid of this pretty fast. There’s cool events, clubs, sororities, and campus life itself, gives you so many opportunities to get involved that you get this sense of belonging. And there’s always something to do.

My most memorable event would be attending football games with my friends. I loved how everyone gathered together to support our team and is also a must to mention my favorite school event, which is A Day. Is a three-day event that brings our campus and surrounding community together. There was a lot of vendors, live music and entertainment and great food trucks. I can’t stress enough how this tiny community, helped me look at DelVal as my new home. Especially in living on campus gives you opportunity to meet so many friends and create lifelong friendships.

Personally speaking, if not for DelVal, I wouldn’t have met such an incredible people that they became a family to me now. You meet people here from all around the world with different backgrounds and interests and the school is small. So, after a while you have a feeling that you know everyone. The most important position I held, was a resident assistant job. Probably because it allow me to give back to the community, the one’s that helped me when I feel homesick. Working as an RA, showed me how everyone on the staff is very dedicated and work hard towards a common goal, supporting students for their college experience, including all the ups and downs. So, if you’re not very outgoing person, don’t worry that is what us, residents assistants are here for. We organize fun events that will allow you to meet people and create friendships.

If you come to DelVal, I can assure you, you’re not gonna be alone. You’re gonna be an Aggie. And that is amazing. If you’re looking for the school with more, than just an academic experience, DelVal is the right choice for you. And there is no better place to call home away from home than DelVal. Alex, back to you.

Great story Zuzanna. It is easy to see why you feel so welcome here at DelVal. That is really a feeling we have had from all of our student reporters today. And I have felt that exact same way from being here on campus. It’s really special. Thanks for sharing that Zuzanna.
