Everyone here seems to have a place that they're headed for
and everyone's really passionate.
They just make it so easy for you to get involved.
I feel extremely prepared.

I'm planning on actually going to physical therapy
school so athletic training was like the perfect major
to prepare myself for that.
I want to apply to grad school.
My dream job, I want to go into corporate event planning.
My dream job would be to go to a different country
and teach English.
I've always dreamed of being a lawyer.
My ideal job would be to go into sports dietetics.
Everyone's like really caring ,
and it's just a good experience.
It was a great community.
It is a friendly, caring, warm place and then
everyone around you cares about your learning
and wants you to succeed and they help you along the way.
The advising center with College of Education and Human Sciences
is awesome.
I really love the faculty.
They're really easy to talk to.
They are so open to helping.
They want you to come talk to them and want
you to excel and just be the best you can.
They're not teachers, they're mentors.
TEACHING SOUND
I got to practice on my history methods class in
the classroom and it was more of a confidence builder.
Makes me feel more encouraged that "hey, you know what?
I can actually get through this."
I came from out of state and I didn't know anything
about it but I came here and instantly I felt like
I was going to be taken care of.
It feels like home to me.
MUSIC
I've gotten involved in the student advisory board
and I think that everyone in it is interested in helping
people.
I got to know the math education students really well.
And it was a great community.
The class is called special education reading and writing
for students with disabilities.
You really get to see the child grow and see them learn
to love reading and writing.
So you really get a opportunity to see the theories
and how they work and watch the child grow
throughout the semesters and see what works best
for them and be able to cater the instruction to towards that child.
Today the catering class has prepared a luncheon for
the College of Education and Human Sciences staff
and faculty.
It's been a great experience, you get a lot of hands on
activity and a lot of field experience.
I like it because it's active.
You're involved and not just listening.
It's been awesome.
I've not only been able to experience life in the classroom
as a student, but I've also been able to get involved
on campus in a ton of activities.
There are student organizations devoted to all of our
different majors.
So students join in order to learn more about their profession
and also to get to know students within their own major.
Today we're doing a little community service at
the Gathering Place so we're able to serve, get some
outreach in the community.
We do some volunteering here and it is a community kitchen.
You know you can join all kinds of clubs,
you can get involved in the community.
It's definitely worth it to maximize your experience.
MUSIC
This is a speech production lab.
It's actually the same program that was used in
Avatar and Lord of the Rings.
It was just easy for me to pick up a UCARE project.
That's a great program for undergrads to kind of get
their feet wet in research.
It's a 400 hour internship.
And I've tried to touch as many parts of the hotel
as I can getting technical and supervisory skills.
And so I feel extremely prepared with the combination
of internship experiences and classes.
This semester I'm taking sign language two,
I'm in bilingual and multicultural education.
Not only did I choose this field because I loved it
but I love learning about the things that they teach.
I wanted to do something that was creative and
I knew I was going to like to do for the rest of my life.
So I feel that I have a really good overall knowledge
of not only just textile development and garment development
but overall life skills.
We're gonna actually build a tree here.
We're using a curriculum that is called Project Learning Tree.
What happens when we get our students engaged in doing hands on activities,
inquiry based science, it really empowers them
to be better teachers.
I love how it's new everyday.
Like you can never predict anything.
You might have the perfect lesson plan and then the kids
just take it totally the opposite direction.
It just keeps me on my toes and I have to be creative all the time.
My trip in China was really good.
We were able to meet people from factories to do the
sourcing and then we were able to talk to local designers
who are making it pretty big.
I traveled to Toledo, Spain where I studied Spanish
and traveled around the country.
I went to Rome, I went to Ireland,
I traveled all over Spain.
I would do it again in a heartbeat.
College isn't about just going to class,
it's about gaining experience with world knowledge.
I feel like I'm very prepared.
I'm excited of having my own classroom.
Whether it be working at group home where I work
at now or working in a hospital setting as a patient
advocate, this major has left me with so many
job opportunities.
Our grads have been very successful in fields
like education, non-profits, corporations, government.
Recent grads have gone to work for the Mayo Clinic,
Cabela's, the Hilton Corporation, Houston School District,
and all over.
I'm very excited to graduate.
I'm going to be a traveling manager for a hospitality company.
I've had a great four years in Lincoln and
I'm ready for the next step.
