      "I chose Lewis University because of TheDream.us. I am very thankful for the college experience and for all my social work professors. A special shout out to Dr. Lorri McMeel. She always pushed me to do better. At Lewis University I was a member of the Social Work Association and a Greek Life member of Gamma Phi Omega International Sorority Inc. I am thankful for all the amazing people I met at Lewis."

      "I chose Lewis University because of the close-knit environment available. At Lewis, you are able to form bonds that will last a life time, leaving you with the satisfaction that every moment at Lewis was worth it. In addition, there are various resources and personnel available to ensure your success, which helps at a high degree. I was an Aviation Administration major. My favorite professors were William Parrot and Robert Zeman. I was a Resident Assistant (3 Years), the Residential Senator for Student Senate (3 Years), and the Student Member for the University Technology Council (UTC) (3 Years)."
