person, as a student, and as a professional. Your
professors know what it takes to succeed in their
chosen fields, be it broadcast journalism, child psy-
chology, hotel management, or whatever.
So they can convey the knowledge and sharpen
the skills required for success in your chosen field.
Because they think and act like professionals, you,
too, will begin to think and act like a professional.
What you learn from Endicott’s faculty will stay
with you long after you’ve gone on to do your
work in the world. You will probably stay in touch
with one or two faculty friends after graduation.
You will certainly leave with the conviction
that your Endicott experience has been shaped
in countless and timeless ways by the College’s
caring and experienced faculty.

or to begin your career... that’s for you to decide. However,
you’ll receive continuous guidance and constructive feedback
along the way: from your academic advisor, your professors,
internship supervisors, study abroad faculty, and from your

You will discover that experiential learning increases self
confidence and instills life-long understanding of the impor-
tance of taking risks and accepting challenges in all aspects

Opportunities
With small classes taught by dedicated
and highly experienced professors and
our unique program of three internships,
Endicott students are remarkably well
prepared to enter the profession of their
choice or to go on to further their education
in graduate school. In my mind, this provides
tremendous value to students and their

“But do you have experience?” You can
count on this question during your first job
interview — and every other one
thereafter. Your answer will start with one
word, “Yes,” because you will get lots of
practical experience in the working world
through the College’s extensive internship
program. In most Endicott programs, you
will spend your first two January terms
working at internship sites where you apply
what you have learned in the classroom.
During your senior year, you will spend an
entire semester on an internship
assignment. You will gain more than
practical experience and the ability to say
“Yes” to an interviewer’s favorite question.
You’ll acquire a better sense of yourself as
a person and as a professional. To see how
internships can change lives, read the
stories that follow . . .
“When I visited Endicott and learned about the internship program, I knew it would be the best fit
for me,” says Elizabeth Rauscher ’12 (left), a Hospitality major. “I liked the hands-on approach
where you can really see if you like working in the field, and I found out I did!” She has interned at
the Chamber of Commerce and the Museum of Russian Icons in her hometowm of Clinton,
Massachusetts. She will coordinate “events, functions, and a little bit of everything” at the Boston
Yacht Club in Marblehead for her semester-long internship. When her sister, Alyson Rauscher ’14,
was looking for a college, she chose Endicott as well. With a major in Nursing, Alyson wanted an
environment where she would be “an individual, not a number.” She explains, “It’s nice to be able
to talk to your professors, and I like the fact that I would start clinicals early in the program.”

I wanted to learnabout the legislative process tobetter understand laws andregulations to help me as anattorney.

“Interesting, colorful, dynamic,
varied, comfortable, challenging,
unpredictable, unforgettable,
memorable.” Pick as many adjec-
tives as you like, and you’ll begin to
draw a picture of campus life at En-
dicott. No two students experience
life here at the same pace, with the
same people, in the same way. That
is as it should be. Your life outside
the classroom will be as interesting
and varied as you choose to make
it.
Much of your life here will cen-
ter around your experiences in the
College’s remarkably diverse resi-
dence halls. Pick your setting: large
traditional residence hall, small
house, or gracious old mansion;
then move to a modern townhouse
or apartment-style residence hall in
your next years. Change your Col-
lege “home” each year as your in-
terests change.
As an Endicott student, you will
soon discover the advantages of
living and learning at a dynamic
coeducational College. You will
form lasting friendships while en-
joying unique opportunities to lead
or to follow — the choice is yours.
Speaking of choices, the
residence life staff and student
activities calendar will keep you
well informed on upcoming activi-
ties and events — from comedy
nights to dance parties, jazz bands
to rock concerts, notable speakers
to art exhibits.erico loPezHometown: Boston, Massachusetts
An International Business major,
student athlete, and member of the
Class of 2005, MBA ’07, Erico reflects
on his experience with the following
message:
I will always remember the chimes
of College Hall ringing in the hour as I
walked to class on a clean crisp fall day,
the salty smell of the ocean as I walked
outside my freshman residence hall on a
blustery winter morning, the beautiful
orange and red sunsets over Endicott
beach as I got in a game of catch with my
friends, and the glow of a full moon that
looks like it’s practically touching the
water as it illuminates the whole campus.
Each of these memories, along with nu-
merous others, will be with me forever.

Boston is not the only popular off-campus destination. You may join friends for a ski trip to
New Hampshire or a shopping expedition at L.L. Bean in Freeport, Maine. Finding something
interesting to do in your free time is never a problem at Endicott.
Boston, just 20 miles to the south of Endicott, is home to scores of colleges and thousands of college students.
Whether you catch a ride with a friend or take the train/shuttle/“T” option, it won’t take long to reach the world’s
most exciting college town. Boston is Faneuil Hall and Copley Place, Newbury Street and Harvard Square, Fenway
Park (home of the 2004 and 2007 World Champion Red Sox), and the TD Garden (home to the 17-time World Cham-
pion Celtics and most recently the 2011 Stanley Cup Champion Bruins), concerts and plays, restaurants, shopping and
sightseeing. Boston is, well, Boston!

If you crave serious athletic
competition, then suit up for the blue
and green on one of the College’s var-
sity teams: baseball, basketball, cross
country, equestrian, field hockey,
football, lacrosse, men’s golf, softball,
soccer, tennis, volleyball. Varsity
teams compete at the NCAA Division
III level and are members of The Com-
monwealth Coast Conference (TCCC).
In addition, club sports include: cheer-
leading, crew, dance,
ice hockey, and women’s golf. Just
want a chance to get some fresh air
and unwind? Then join more than 80%
of all our students who participated
last year in our intramural or recre-
ational activities, which include: wiffle
ball, tae kwon do, kickboxing, soccer,
women’s self defense, racquetball,
aerobics, basketball
(5 on 5, 3 on 3), strength and fitness
training, volleyball, arena football,
flag football, floor hockey, and soft-
ball. The Post Center includes fitness,
dance, weight and aerobic rooms; rac-
quetball courts; locker rooms; a com-
petition gymnasium seating 1,200; and
a field house with a suspended run-
ning track and traversing wall. A
2,200-seat stadium with a synthetic

ball complex are the most recent addi-
tions to our athletic facilities.

atHleticsIt’s Game Time!
If your athletic interests run to the spontaneous, then make good use of the
College’s tennis courts, athletic fields, and Post Athletic Center. They’re open to
all students from early morning to late in the evening. Whatever your abilities
or inclinations, you’ll discover that you can always be active and involved at En-
dicott — knowing the satisfaction of giving it your best, learning from losing as
well as winning, strengthening old friendships and forming new ones, and re-
turning to your residence hall refreshed and invigorated.
Reflect, for a moment, on
those activities in your life when
you’ve really focused on some-
thing, when you’ve worked
along with others towards a
common goal, when time stood
still. In addition to producing
sheer enjoyment, such experi-
ences probably led to a better
understanding of yourself and
others. At Endicott, you’ll have
plenty of opportunities to know
the exhilaration of total involve-
ment. You might want to experi-
ence democracy in action by
working with the Student Gov-
ernment Association. You might
help bring big-name entertainers
and speakers to campus as a
member of the Campus Activities
Board (CAB). Past attractions
have included Howie Day, Bob
Dylan, Robert Palmer, Coretta
Scott King, Cathy Rigby, Billy
Joel, The Roots, Jean-Michel
Cousteau, Gavin Degraw, Jack
Levin, Guster, and Common.
You might learn about creative
expression while writing for the
Endicott Review, the literary
magazine, the Endicott Observer,
the campus newspaper, or jour-
nalistic teamwork while helping
put together the campus TV
news program. You’ll find plenty
to do here (see list of activities)
and, most important, have a
great time in the process.
