“Mount Mary provides opportunities to fuel student creativity by helping us explore our areas of study in new ways.”

Kat Reynoso ’14 Biology and Health Sciences Double Major

As a Mount Mary graduate, you will possess

demonstrated creative leadership attributes that employers have identified as vital for Milwaukee and

Wisconsin’s economy:

AgilityExperimentation

ImaginationOpen-Mindedness

Complexity

The learning approach itself is creative here. This is the only place where I’ve actually had the opportunity in the classroom to get together with other groups of students to ask what they think about something, so we can learn a little bit differently by creating the learning ourselves, rather than just by looking at something that’s already established. It helps us get hands-on experience before graduating.

Creativity is part of who we are at Mount Mary. A big part.

This cooperative and inventive environment will help you strengthen your critical thinking and leadership skills and position you as a leader at the forefront of a competitive marketplace.

“I’m proud to see women taking control of their own lives and wanting to better themselves. I’m proud of Mount Mary for helping us bring to life what we see in our heads for ourselves. They’re helping us fulfill our dreams.”

Bridgett Wilder ’16 Dietetics Major

I am able to be that leader that I have always wanted to be in the classroom, athletically and within the groups that I am involved with.

Meghan Haese ‘15 Interior Design Major

I chose Mount Mary because of its commitment to community and empowering women to change the world for the better.

Katrina Pittsley ‘14 Fashion Design Major

In today’s employment environment, people are so focused on building a skillset that oftentimes building a foundation of who you are and what you stand for is put to the wayside. Mount Mary helped to develop both of these important parts of who I am.

Leah Peterka ’05 International Fashion Marketing, Self-Designed Major

The Caroline Scholars program shaped my entire college experience. I was first drawn to it because of the amazing opportunity of full tuition and room and board, but what I gained went far beyond that: a deep understanding of social justice, community involvement and a marvelous support system of women at various stages in their college careers who helped me transition from a timid freshman into an involved sophomore.
