Dante, from Canto 27 of <em>Purgatorio</em> in the <em>Divine Comedy</em>, offers some of the best parting words ever from a teacher to a student: “[We the faculty have] brought you here through intellect and art;/from now on, let your pleasure be your guide;/you’re past the steep and narrow paths…. Await no further word or sign from [us]:/your will is free, right, and whole—to act/against that will would be to err: therefore/[we] crown and miter you over yourself.”</p><p> -Dr. Bradley Herling</p></div><div class="lw_profiles_info"><div class="lw_profiles_name"><a href="/live/profiles/2076-emily-inman-17">Emily Inman ’17</a></div><div class="lw_profiles_104"><p> Class of 2017, Double-Major in <a href="/departments/history-philosophy-and-religious-studies/">Philosophy</a> and <a href="/departments/english/">English and World Literatures</a></p></div></div>

First and foremost would be the faculty of the Business Division Each member of this team brings forth an unprecedented knowledge base in an array of subject matter. But what separates them from simply being intellects is their pride and love for teaching. Coupled with the faculty would be the intimate class sizes. Marymount students have the advantage of having small classroom sizes which encourages more student professor interaction, as well as a more enriching study of the subject. Thirdly, I had a wonderful experience interning for Finn Partners PR Firm in their literary sect, MEDIA CONNECT. I developed and planned national Radio, Print, and Television interviews for Business Authors. I was privileged to work with authors such as Dr. Charles Richards, <em>The Psychology of Wealth</em>, and Matthew Bishop, The Economist US Business Editor and New York Bureau Chief, author of <em>In Gold We Trust.”</em></p></div><div class="lw_profiles_info"><div class="lw_profiles_name"><a href="/live/profiles/855-jacob-webber">Jacob Webber</a></div><div class="lw_profiles_104"><p> Class of 2012, Major: Business Management with concentration in Entrepreneurship</p></div></div>

I could see their eyes moving over the scene, but were they really choosing to see it? I stood in the same place alone for a while and watched as what seemed like hundreds of people paused and took a photograph of the boat. Was the boat meant to be viewed only after being cropped and filtered? Or was it for real people, with real eyes, who should take this sight in and let themselves be absorbed by it?<br/> These questions recall Walker Percy’s key idea: the struggle of knowing whether we are actually experiencing something or just looking at it. But maybe not all picture takers are the same. After all, what we were witnessing was so beautiful that perhaps it had inspired us to transfer that beauty into ourselves, like a choreographer who is inspired to create a new dance by what they see in nature.”</p></div><div class="lw_profiles_info"><div class="lw_profiles_name"><a href="/live/profiles/1049-kaitlyn-burke-">Kaitlyn Burke </a></div><div class="lw_profiles_104"><p> Class of 2017</p></div></div>

I created a couple of courses, one of which explored turtle conservation efforts in Costa Rica, where I traveled to work hands-on with turtle-nest relocation and data gathering. I also explored a course on Native Hawaiian plants and how the use of GMO’s in the Hawaiian Islands is in contradiction with local cultural beliefs. I have to say that <em>experiencing</em> the issues is very different than reading about it in a book – I believe it is of greater impact, and meeting people related to the topics you are studying is also very beneficial and helps you to grow as a person.”</p></div><div class="lw_profiles_info"><div class="lw_profiles_name"><a href="/live/profiles/987-alexis-van-dijk-14">Alexis Van Dijk ’14</a></div><div class="lw_profiles_104"><p> Class of 2014, Major in <a href="/departments/interdisciplinary-studies/index.php">Interdisciplinary Studies</a></p></div></div>
