"I’ve worked in the healthcare system since I was 16 years old and I have family members who have worked in the system as well. Being able to see what nurses can do and being able to advocate for my patient is really cool. I want to be that super hero for my patient." — Wilisha Graham, junior, Nursing
"Be confident, don’t be afraid to take risks, and invest in yourself." — Mark Rickey, senior, Communication #FacesofIPFW
"IPFW has provided me with so many opportunities. I got to study abroad in South Korea and I just fell in love with the country, so I’d love to teach there. And (I was) a part of the National Student Exchange where I went to California. IPFW has also helped me develop personal growth. The small classrooms have made me feel close to my professors and I feel like I’m recognized inside and outside the classroom." — Ryan Meriwether, senior, Interpersonal Communications & TENL
#FacesOfIPFW: "It's definitely surreal being done, you know? I'm at one of those stages where I've closed so many chapters and now I'm about to write the longest chapter and I don't know how I'm going to start it. I'm starting my new job at DeBrand on Monday, but it's so weird. I'm good at school. I've been doing this since I was four, that's 18 years. Now I'm done and it's on to the next chapter."
#FacesOfIPFW: "It still doesn't feel real that I'm almost done. I'm glad that I was able to be a part of a different way of reaching the students. As far as I know, there hadn't really been a blog like the Inside IPFW blog, and there hadn't been the outreach to students that's as personal and on their level. We've been able to attain this Buzzfeed level of, 'Hey, we get you. We've got your information, but we also understand what it's like. Some of the construction stuff and finals anxiety that we've talked about... We get it.’
"I haven't seen a lot of universities that have transcended the big bureaucracy stance and have really been able to access that student perspective and been honest with them, and really understand what they're going through. Bridging that gap is something that I like to think we started this year."
#FacesOfIPFW: "I was born deaf but I learned how to talk and I also learned sign language; there are great benefits of knowing both. The deaf culture to me is probably where I would fit the most. The deaf community’s connection is so close, more than the hearing world. We’re constantly surrounded by hearing people and if we meet somebody who knows sign language, we have that instant connection to somebody and it’s really nice. A lot of us have really close relationships and we like to always make other people aware of what they can do to help. Deaf people deeply appreciate hearing people learning sign language and doing whatever they can to make us feel a part of the whole community."
#FacesOfIPFW: "There’s a lot of neat stuff happening right now in Fort Wayne. There’s a pretty good music scene here, there are comedy groups downtown, and there’s so much revitalization going on. It’s a really cool place to be. It seems like the more they open up housing downtown the better it gets."
#FacesOfIPFW: "I love being able to create a space and invoking different feelings with that space. We focus a lot on asking the question 'How does this space make you feel? Does it make you feel invited, calm, energized?' I really like that aspect of interior design—I can influence how someone feels based on how I design a space."
