University of Mary Emerging Leader's Academy Experiences
ELA Senior Trip to Peru- Spring 2016
My senior ELA class traveled to Peru in the Spring of 2016 with a couple of our professors. We visited various schools, toured ancient the ruins of Machu Picchu, and learned about a very different culture than our own. It was an incredible experience to embrace a completely different way of living and I beyond grateful for the opportunity the University of Mary gave me. I hope to return someday and volunteer again within the schools of Peru.
Riverboat Cruise
A member of the planning committee of the annual freshman riverboat cruise to welcome students to the University of Mary.
Homes for Our Troops Fundraiser
Our entire class put on a fundraiser for a wounded Bismarck veteran that consisted of a silent auction, freewill dinner and bake sale.
No Excuses University
Our junior HSL class partnered with Shepherd Elementary School's third grade through No Excuses University. We wrote letters back and forth to our assigned pen-pal and visited via Skype on multiple occasions.
"Wachter Day"
Put on a campus visit day for middle school students from Wachter Middle School with the focus of showing them college is possible and dreams are worth following despite family and living circumstances.
Mentorship Opportunities
I attended an Alpha Delta Gamma meeting with my mentor, Mrs. Marman, where I experienced what it is like to be a part a professional teaching organization.
