Lewis University Navigator Blogs

Hi!! Hope everyone is having a good week and is excited about HALLOWEEN!! I am personally participating in two Halloween events this weekend. The Harmonic Uprising group is performing on Halloween and after going last year to see them perform lots of good music, I wouldn’t miss this concert. Also, some of the navigator team is participating in the Halloween Dodgeball. We are all going to wear costumes and hopefully have a lot of fun! Also, with this being Hunger month/week there are a lot of activities going on with that. The Big Brothers Big Sisters program painted bowls for the Hungry Bowls Project last week and there is a banquet this week for it. The kids all seemed to have a good time painting bowls. I wish you all a safe and Happy Halloween!!

My name is Janet Zack and I am a sophomore here at Lewis. I am from Stillman Valley and attended Stillman Valley High School. I am a Nursing student major and am enjoying a lot so far. I chose Lewis for a variety of reasons. The first one being that I wanted to attend a Catholic University. I went to public schools all my life but really wanted to attend a private Catholic school. Secondly, Lewis has a great Nursing program. Lewis offers small and individualized learning opportunities and all of the professors are more then happy to help. It is very far from a “sink or swim” program. Also, the Nursing program here is a four year program, so there is no worrying about being accepted to the program after two years. Lastly, Lewis was the perfect size and had the community feeling that I was looking for. Lewis is big enough that you probably will not know everyone, but small enough that you can walk to class and see people that you know. On campus, I am involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Student Nursing Association. I have made many friends at Lewis and really enjoy attending this university.
