How has HDFS prepared you?
Molly shared, "When I discovered the HDFS major, I was drawn right towards it. Little did I know that the people I met and the material I learned, helped shape me into the person I am now. While studying communication, family dynamics, relationships, etc., I learned more about myself and who I was becoming. I valued diving deep into content that is very applicable to everyday life. Not only was I in pursuit of my career, but I was being prepared as an individual to be sent out into the workforce." She specified that Introduction to Interpersonal Relationships, Dynamics of Family Interaction, and Group Dynamics were the most helpful courses she took as an undergrad.
How does faith interface with your work?
Carly said, "I strive every day to serve the Lord with my work. Being able to practice my faith within my workplace is something I value. My colleagues and I share the same morals and values, which allows us to work with integrity. I strive for students can see the love of Christ through me, just through conversation. I can share with students how transforming my time at 91ÖÆƬ³§ was. My hope is they can see a testimony of how 91ÖÆƬ³§ can help shape your faith and identity."
