I have recently been reminded of the genuine kindness and compassion that exists on the Newman campus.
It can be seen in a staff member’s invite to her house on Valentine’s Day to hang out with her since you may be dateless for the night. It is seen in a professor bringing snacks for your class to keep you awake since you have had a problem drifting off in her lecture that is right after lunch. It is seen in a roommate bringing you home ice cream to the residence hall just because she knew you would enjoy it after a long day. It is seen in staff members’ concern and encouragement regarding an upcoming doctor’s appointment. It is seen in a classmate loaning you her book for the semester because she had an extra one. It is seen in the daily smiles and greetings from people like those who work in the dining center at lunch time, to those who work on the custodial staff even late at night.
It is amazing to me how much you can get to know people throughout your time at a school. It’s good to be at a place where you feel loved.

My name is Clare and I am a fifth-year senior at Newman University. I can’t believe that I have already been here for four whole years! The time has definitely flown by. My favorite memories range from building the biggest snowman on campus with my friends from Nepal one winter to winning the conference tournament with my soccer teammates another year. I have made some amazing friends and can’t wait to make more memories with them in my final year at Newman. Who knows what will happen this year!
