DYLAN DECK, JUNIOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS
“I’ve begun to study the disparity between low-income and minority individuals and the health gap that exists in America,” he says. “As healthcare has been at the forefront of American culture in the last two years, I find this area very important because this is where I feel the most change could be accomplished to help end health disparities.”
CARISSA PALAZZOLO, SENIOR FINE ARTS MAJOR, PSYCHOLOGY MINOR
“Initially I wanted to be an art therapist because I love art and helping people and thought it was a good intersection of the two,” Palazzolo says. “But I’ve taken so many classes at the Mount and loved so many of them that it’s hard for me to pick just one thing to do now.”
EMILY ETRIS, JUNIOR EARLY CHILDHOOD AND SPECIAL EDUCATION MAJOR
“I chose to concentrate in these areas so that I am able to effectively teach every student that I have in my class,” Etris says. “I feel that this major is important because it gives teachers the chance to make a difference in their students’ lives. We are able to give the next generation the tools to succeed and build a better world.”
