College ties can ne'er be broken, here at Old M.C.

For those of you who know me personally, you know that I have a strong emotional tie to my undergraduate alma mater, Moravian College in Bethlehem, PA. Today I had the honor of sitting in on a board meeting of the Alumni Association, and being back on campus felt like being back home. While my mom has moved down to Bethlehem since I graduated, it is at Moravian where I truly learned a sense of community of both the school and the Lehigh Valley. While its small class sizes, picturesque campus, and strong faculty drew me to Moravian, it's what I learned when I got there that connected to the school, even today. 


Moravian College prides itself on its sense of community. It is the type of school in which prospective students are treated like close friends, current students are treated like family, and where the doors are always open to welcome alumni back in. Buildings may change, faculty may vary, yet one thing remains: the value of the community in which is the foundation of Moravian College. Community is a hard thing to put into words, but the kind found at Moravian is that you feel when you may go back to your parents' house on the holidays. It's a warm welcome of those you knew, those you're still in touch with, and those whom you'll get to know.

While I was a student at Moravian, I was actively involved on campus, ranging from serving as a Student Adviser to incoming students, serving as Vice President of my sorority, and graduating from The National LeaderShape Institute.

And here I am, starting a new chapter of my life in May with my graduation from law school on Long Island, new job prospects, and a future with this wonderful guy who also just happened to attend Moravian. And while everything in my life is lining up as planned, I knew it was time to make my way back to the community of Moravian. Make my way back home. As an alumna, I am extremely excited to see what my new ventures at this great school may be.

"When our college days are over
And our ways shall part,
Still by thee we'll be united
Still be one in heart."
