An Interview with Valerie:
Why did you choose L-R and what makes
L-R special?
I chose L-R because I knew I felt at home the
second we drove onto campus for my first visit. The brick buildings,
the quaint campus, and the friendly staff drew me in immediately. I
interviewed for the Honors University on my second visit, and that's what
sealed the deal. Not only did the staff genuinely care about me and
my future, but the academics were outstanding. This is what is
special about L-R. At larger schools, empathy usually goes out the
window. At L-R, we have the best of both worlds.
What do you like best about L-R?
In addition to the academics, I love the atmosphere at L-R. I love
that everyone knows each other, for the most part. There is
something very comforting about knowing everyone.
What do you believe has been your experience with your major?
I am a
Comprehensive Science Education Major (Grades 9-12), which requires a lot
of science courses in addition to education courses. I was concerned
about needing to stay an extra semester because of all the classes I had
to take, which was my worst experience within my major. However,
beginning this fall, many of the education classes are combined, so I will
in fact be able to graduate on time. This is what I love about L-R;
their commitment to innovative learning and challenging old systems so as
to further the excellence in curriculum.
Do you believe that L-R will/has prepared you for
your future?
The Lenoir-Rhyne School of
Education is committed to field experience in all majors. By
requiring us to complete this, they are preparing us for our future
careers.
