A working class kid from Buffalo's Eastside who at one time suffered from a weight problem and could muster only solid but far from impressive standardized test scores, Jeremy was able to fully take advantage of Medaille's nurturing environment. He is now a graduate student in Media Communications program at Temple University. Dana is another Dean's list student, stellar school citizen, and another mature student who has gotten the most out of her education by taking advantage of the nurturing environment of this college. Dana is headed to graduate school and to what I believe will be a exemplary career in journalism. And this is the same type of nurturing environment that will benefit our honors students.
Honors students are students with special needs too.
This college has many bright and dedicated teachers longing to devote themselves to bright, motivated, and mature students who desire the kind of special attention that public schools and even most private schools cannot deliver. When I tried to set an appointment to ask one of them to be on my committee, he said he was too busy publishing to even consider the idea. This is the advantage that Medaille College gives to our students. This is why Medaille is a perfect place for an honors program. It is because we're not elitist.
