On Saturday, Albertus Magnus College held its Open House to perspective students and their families. Prior to the event, I was asked to give a speech about how I chose Albertus and my experience here. I was truly honored to be asked. I spoke about how Albertus was the only true choice for me and the positive impact the community, the classes, and the professors have had on me.
The morning began with a breakfast luncheon, where I was able to sit with President McNamara, Nilvio Perez, and a few other distinguished members of the college community. It was great to speak with them on a casual level. I was extremely nervous to speak (who wouldn’t be?!) but they calmed me down and reassured me that I would do great. When it was time for me to speak, I spoke as though I was conversing with my little sister as she was visiting colleges. I spoke from the heart and wanted them to understand the spirit of the campus. I was shaking throughout the entire speech, but I hid it!
When I was done, several families came up to me to tell me how good I did and how inspirational I was. I did not expect this at all but it made me feel as though I made a difference. I hope that my words made an impact and encouraged these perspective students to look into Albertus a little further. AMC is such a unique place, you become a family and it is truly special.
How did you choose Albertus if you are a current student?
To perspective students: What are you looking for in a college?
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them! I’d love to discuss Albertus with you! J
