 Immaculata is the family atmosphere. This place is home because we are a huge family. Everyone gets to know each other. Immaculata is a place where we believe anything is possible. I just really love the whole atmosphere. I love Immaculata. I love living on campus. To me it's kind of like coming home. It's not really like going, like I'm not going from home to school. I'm home. It's just a matter of getting involved and reaching out. And you'll have so much fun here because there's always stuff to do. Most of the clubs that you'd be involved in no matter what it is has some type of service opportunity throughout the year. We also are very proud that we are a religious institution. And I think that that makes a difference in how we treat people and how our students treat one another. The sisters themselves do a wonderful job of letting their charism transcend the campus. It's just really important because we are a Catholic school and it's important to have, you know, service is one of our core values. It's important to have that and to really just like express that and everything that we do. The core values of Immaculata flow right from our mission and our strategic plan. We have caring, learning, integrity, faith, teamwork and service. They are all indicative of making yourself a better person. You are an individual. There are many opportunities for students to become leaders in the classroom, in organizations, with their friends. Our students, we provide them with different leadership opportunities with the NCAA, with our conference, where they'll go away and do some type of leadership training. At Immaculata, we want our student-athletes not to just be successful for the next four years, but for the next 40 years. Cary, it's just who we are at Immaculata. The student-teacher ratio here is 11 to 1, so the classes are small. The largest class I've ever had here was about 25 students. It's just really awesome because I know that if I have a problem I can go to my professor, I can email them, they'll actually get back to me. It's just really nice because you have that relationship that you might not have at a bigger school. We can be receptive to what your needs are and because of the size of the university, tailor those needs to the student as viably as possible. We give our student-athletes the opportunity to excel in the classroom and also on the playing field. Part of our mission is the liberal studies. What Immaculata wants is for our students to be developed and strong holistically. All of our undergraduate students have a liberal arts core that they are expected to take. We try to be sure that every student has a core that includes philosophy, logic, theology, math and science, and the humanities. We have a partnership between Jefferson and Immaculata. Not only were we looking for students who had a very good science foundation but we're also looking for students who are compassionate who really are interested in patient care and I think that students who are attracted to Immaculata inherently have that kind of a background and so it was a really good fit for us. We have a lot of traditions on campus. You know it was a really small school when it started and it's an older school so you have a lot of like the traditions. At the new student orientation, we go down to the grotto and they plant a little pot of ivy which then grows and mingles into all the other ivy that's been planted there. When you talk about traditions, almost everyone talks about Carol night. There's a Christmas tree in the rotunda that literally like goes up to like the third floor and all of the faculty, staff, alumni, everybody comes from like all over and we just kind of get together. We sing Christmas carols for a couple hours. They're the milestones of college life. It will be the school that you measure every other visit against and say is it as nice as Immaculata was.
