对话澄清大学问题

Although originally unsure of where to attend college, Josh Long ’19 soon decided on Mount Mercy.

“My first real exposure to this institution was through my older sister, who is now an upperclassman in nursing,” Long said. “She was one of the main influences that convinced me to apply here.”

Long’s experience with 皇冠体育’s biannual Scholarship Day cemented the decision.

“She may not remember it, but the president of the university herself sat down and had about a 15-minute talk with my mother when she came with me."

“She may not remember it, but the president of the university herself sat down and had about a 15-minute talk with my mother when she came with me,” Long said. “After leaving that day, I knew that this is where I would go to school.”

长期在校园里非常活跃，从科学俱乐部，到钓鱼俱乐部，到自行车俱乐部，再到b田径队，他在课外一直很忙。 He also works for St. Luke’s Hospital in Cedar Rapids and the Academic Center for Excellence at Mount Mercy.

毕业后，朗计划攻读物理治疗专业的研究生院。 He feels that the openness and support of professors—in both the physical therapy pre-professional program and general courses—will help him get there.

"Beyond the care professors here show about a student’s work in class, they also show a genuine interest in the student as a person," said Long. “他们知道你在Mount Mercy之后的目标是什么，并会给你所需的建议，帮助你实现目标。 Students here are lucky to be able to have such solid resources.”

Long is also thankful for the opportunities available to students due to the University’s location to local businesses.

“A city like Cedar Rapids provides for many quality work experience opportunities that may be hard to find or compete for in other cities.”

龙遇到的人使他的皇冠体育之旅值得。

“从我的邻居到我的教授，我认为这里人们的关怀是这个地方与众不同的地方。”

“The people here are some of the nicest people I know. From my neighbors to my professors, I think the caring nature of the people here is what sets this place apart.”
