Student Outcomes

“When I look toward my future, I hope to live a life of significance by preserving the environment in my career and being a friend and resource to those around me. I think the Mount community has prepared me to fulfill both of these roles.”

“I chose the Mount because I felt at home the first time I walked on campus. I felt like I was already a part of the Mount’s family and I felt that the faculty truly cared about their students and wanted them to succeed. I knew at that moment I belonged at the Mount.”

“My most meaningful experience at the Mount was ultimately coming to understand the mission and purpose of the school. The attention to faith, respect and proper action permeates the culture of the school. Spes Nostra indeed.”

“I chose the Mount for the same reason many other people do: the people. The amount of love and support I have been shown throughout my four years is unparalleled and has truly helped form me into the person I am today.”

“My most meaningful experience was being part of the Mount's Honors Program because it helped me become a better student with a stronger desire to learn. The Mount has equipped me for post-college with ethical and moral knowledge that will help me become a trusted leader for my community.”

“My liberal arts education at the Mount not only gave me a push start into my career, , but offered a well-rounded education through core classes that taught me about philosophy, theology and world history. I now know a little bit about everything, and it has expanded my knowledge and curiosity.”

“Freshman year I was a Core leader and a freshman ambassador. Sophomore year I became the secretary of the Maryland Student Legislature. Junior year I joined the Voice exec. board and also became the vice president of Women in Business. All of these clubs have a common thread: servant leadership. I have always strived to be in service to others. I will live significantly by being a vessel for my community, continuing to serve others and to glorify God in everything that I do.”

“The Mount has given me a wealth of lab experience. I've learned hard lab skills (such as how to use instrumentation) but perhaps more importantly, I've learned how to develop procedures, how to collaborate with other researchers and how to regroup when an experiment fails. I will absolutely take all these lessons with me into graduate school and beyond.”

“The most meaningful experience that I had while at the Mount was conducting biochemical research in Dr. Patrick Lombardi’s laboratory during the summer between my freshman and sophomore years. This experience not only allowed me to develop fundamental research skills, but also greatly influenced my decision to further my education by attending graduate school.”

“I became involved with Dr. Isaac Mills' research as a freshman, and this opportunity helped me gain hands-on experience with practical, inorganic chemistry. The discipline I've gained through performing on-campus research as an undergraduate student has equipped me to be an active member of my graduate research group.”

“I have always been interested in the mental health field, but the psychology department’s emphasis on research definitely drew me in.”

“The friends I made at the Mount have helped me grow into the person I am today.”
