Every day I spent in class at Marymount was truly an eye-opening learning experience, and I found my abilities and my worldview challenged constantly.</p><p> After four years I felt completely transformed and ready to take on the real world. Our professors worked with us closely to encourage our unique interests and skills, and helped us become better students every step of the way. Every professor I had was 100% devoted to their students, and I never felt as if I couldn’t ask for help or ask questions about the coursework or material.</p><p> I also found that the resources available at Marymount- including the wide variety of mandatory electives- really rounded out my thought process and taught me where my key strengths lie. Taking on internships and studying abroad as well were the most important things I did; they provided real world experience and something to put on a resume before I even graduated. Marymount truly is a place where you are allowed to take your education in your own hands and make the most of everything the school has to offer. Our professors in the International Studies, Social Sciences, History, etc. departments are creative, smart, and world-class educators. If asked to do it over again, I would absolutely still choose Marymount Manhattan College.”</p></div><div class="lw_profiles_info"><div class="lw_profiles_name"><a href="/live/profiles/1105-joseph-liner">Joseph Liner</a></div><div class="lw_profiles_104"><p> Class of 2013, Major in <a href="/departments/international-studies/">International Studies</a></p></div></div>

The support I received allowed me to reach my full potential in my studies and in my personal life. During my time at MMC, I was involved in computational research under the guidance of Dr. Sampoli. Throughout this experience, I gained invaluable knowledge on molecular dynamics, making scientific posters, and public speaking by presenting the research at various conferences. My thesis awarded me the accolade of Honors in Biology.

Listening to the discourse generated that day inspired my junior year self to attend graduate school. I also completed Curatorial and Archival internships at museums and libraries in New York City, attended the Southern Italy study abroad program with Dr. Rosenfeld, and visited countless museums and galleries, often with the exhibition’s curator or the artists represented.</p><p> However, my most valuable experience at Marymount was earning Honors in Art History. Under the guidance of Dr. Adrienne Baxter Bell, I developed my Senior Art History Seminar paper into a 35+ page paper that represented the culmination of all I learned over the past three years and served as a perfect writing sample for my applications to graduate programs. I was accepted to my two first choice schools: The Courtauld Institute of Art and The University of York. I chose the Master’s program in the History of British Art at York and will start in Fall of 2016. I passionately believe that the most important part of attending college is the connections one makes with professors and fellow students. At MMC, our professors certainly taught the curriculum but also expanded on ideas we brought to the classroom and encouraged discourse that allowed us to learn from one another. This atmosphere of encouraging active scholarship greatly contributed to the success I have achieved thus far as an art historian.</p></div><div class="lw_profiles_info"><div class="lw_profiles_name"><a href="/live/profiles/1684-estee-tanel-oconnor-16">Estée Tanel O’Connor ’16</a></div><div class="lw_profiles_104"><p> Class of 2016, Major in Art History</p></div></div>
