I love being here at Dominican University

1
00:00:03.015 --> 00:00:04.895
because I have a lot of friends here.

2
00:00:05.455 --> 00:00:06.615
I have a lot of staff

3
00:00:06.615 --> 00:00:09.375
and faculty who genuinely feel like family to me.

4
00:00:10.395 --> 00:00:11.735
The mentorship that I've had,

5
00:00:11.735 --> 00:00:13.335
especially being an out-of-state student,

6
00:00:13.435 --> 00:00:17.215
has really been helpful and I've truly made Dominican my

7
00:00:17.215 --> 00:00:20.455
second home and understanding that I can find family here

8
00:00:20.555 --> 00:00:23.415
and I can find people who are in similar situations

9
00:00:23.515 --> 00:00:24.855
as me being a first gen

10
00:00:24.855 --> 00:00:27.215
and also being a Dream.US Opportunity scholar.

11
00:00:27.635 --> 00:00:28.895
At Dominican, we strive

12
00:00:28.895 --> 00:00:30.815
to build a more just and humane world.

13
00:00:31.115 --> 00:00:32.175
We do this through a lot

14
00:00:32.175 --> 00:00:34.175
of social justice engagement with our students.

15
00:00:34.325 --> 00:00:36.455
Through this, we build different organizations

16
00:00:36.475 --> 00:00:38.935
and partnerships on campus that allow for students

17
00:00:38.955 --> 00:00:41.615
to be able to do this advocacy work, not just

18
00:00:41.615 --> 00:00:43.175
by themselves, but through community.

19
00:00:43.515 --> 00:00:45.295
We are a very diverse campus.

20
00:00:45.675 --> 00:00:47.255
We are still in HSI,

21
00:00:47.255 --> 00:00:48.975
which is a Hispanic-Serving Institution,

22
00:00:49.035 --> 00:00:51.535
but we still provide a safe space for all of our students

23
00:00:51.675 --> 00:00:54.895
to participate in student clubs and organizations

24
00:00:54.955 --> 00:00:56.375
and activities that we do.

25
00:00:57.075 --> 00:01:00.055
You can work on campus, you can be an athlete on campus,

26
00:01:00.195 --> 00:01:01.535
you can be an advocate on campus.

27
00:01:01.635 --> 00:01:03.455
You can do anything you want here at Dominican.
