Student Testimonial
"I have always had the perception that college would be stressful and difficult, but I found through this course and other courses I took this fall that college is enriching and fun. I came into this course with some concerns about my abilities, but with a willingness to learn, to be open and to make connections. What I walk away with is being comfortable with the rhythm of what I see as a very healthy and grounded institution of higher education with much understanding, flexibility and support for its community of students and instructors. I expect to continue with this rhythm throughout my time at Marylhurst."
– Patrice Kelly, after completing the introductory course Academic Learning: Discovery and Practice
