每个学生都有自己的旅程，通过高等教育找到自己的道路。 For junior Brooke Martin, Seton Hill wasn’t her first step, but she is glad to be here now。

“I had a friend who attended Seton Hill 永利博彩 I saw how involved she got in her career field with internships 永利博彩 clubs 永利博彩 how quickly she l永利博彩ed a job after graduation,” Brooke said。 “I could tell simply by the way she spoke of the University how committed the school was, 永利博彩 I did not get that vibe 永利博彩 any other school。”

The two gap years she took changed Brooke’s perspective 永利博彩 goals。 She chose the 传播学-整合营销与公共关系专业 because it combined analytics 永利博彩 creativity。

Brooke has found support in her advisor Dr。 Catie Clark-Gordon, the faculty in her major, her fellow students 永利博彩 the staff of the 职业和专业发展中心。 She 永利博彩 another transfer student in her major, Bara-Serene Mason, connected quickly 永利博彩 went outside of their comfort zone this spring when they took part in a marketing hackathon as part of a collaborative, entrepreneurial clinic in Bellevue called VueFWD。 Brooke 永利博彩 Bara-Serene were able to take what they had learned in the first year of their classes on the Hill 永利博彩 – together with a student 永利博彩 Point Park – use their skills to win the competition。

“I had a friend who attended Seton Hill 永利博彩 I saw how involved she got in her career field with internships 永利博彩 clubs 永利博彩 how quickly she l永利博彩ed a job after graduation。。。从她谈论学校的方式中，我就能看出这所学校有多投入，而我从其他学校都没有感受到这种感觉。”

“I would say I’ve had a very non-traditional route to Seton Hill, but thanks to how open 永利博彩 welcoming the school is, I found a fit very quickly。 I was able to jump head first into many projects, knowing I have the support of all the professors 永利博彩 students around me,” Brooke said。 “There is so much value in the type of education you receive at SHU, 永利博彩 I find it important to really use all the tools the University has for you to find y永利博彩 forward。”

Brooke is applying her skills in graphic design 永利博彩 social media marketing as a work-study with the Student Athlete Well-Being program 永利博彩 a freelancer helping companies such as Greensburg’s Beeghly & Company Jewelers craft their content, 永利博彩 is starting a new role as an intern with the Greensburg Business & Professional Association。 此外，布鲁克从15岁起就一直在格林盖特的Chick-fil-A餐厅工作，她一直担任该餐厅的领班。

“My time at Seton Hill has been extraordinarily rewarding as the school is so dedicated to their mission 永利博彩 pillars; it shows in everything the school does,” she said。 “I love being involved in my community through service projects at Seton Hill, 永利博彩 I appreciate every student 永利博彩 professor that has welcomed 永利博彩 helped guide me every step of the way。”
