Caitlyn Lee
\nMajor: Music Therapy
\nGraduation Year: 2019
\nGPA: 3.78<\/strong><\/p>\n

91制片厂 is the perfect college for Caitlyn Lee. It offers her the major she wants and presents her opportunities to reach her potential through leadership roles available on campus. <\/p>\n

Lee, who is majoring in Music Therapy, has been taking an active role as a student at Maryville by being a member of the pep band, the Association of Black Collegians (ABC) organization and the Music Therapy Student Association. Lee also works at the Center for Student Engagement as a student manager. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am convinced I wouldn’t have the same opportunities I have currently if I went to a different school,\u201d says Lee. \u201cThis is my second home. I am so happy that every group I have come in contact with, I can fit in and be my true self. This school is amazing, and it only goes up from here.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a member of the ABC organization she helps plan and execute events. <\/p>\n

\u201cEven though I am not a part of the executive board, I still see myself taking a leadership position because I have been committed to this organization since my first year at Maryville,\u201d says Lee, a junior. \u201cI think I can be a positive role for other students who don’t necessarily want or are ready for the responsibility of a position on the executive board, like myself, but still want to feel like they are reaching their fullest potential by contributing to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee is a Multicultural Scholars program recruit. This program offers interested students an opportunity to create an inclusive campus environment with half or partial tuition. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy favorite part of being a Multicultural Scholar is the fact I am not only exposed to learning about different cultures of people I encounter every day, but learning about myself and my race,\u201d says Lee. \u201cIt puts me in tune with myself so I can not only be able to be educated about my race, but also have the information to be supportive of others.\u201d<\/p>\n

She has been managing her student life responsibilities and working as one of the Fun Coordinators at Creve Coeur Assisted Living and Memory Care while carrying a 3.78 GPA. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important secret to juggling my work load has to be passion,\u201d says Lee. \u201cI wake up every day excited to be in the shoes I’m in and I know if I didn’t feel that way my experience would not be the same. There’s always going to be some bumps in the road, to say the least, but it’s never anything I can’t manage. Maryville creates this stress free environment where if I am going through a hard time I have so many people I can turn to who will support me. I can say I have utilized every service Maryville provides, counseling, tutoring, office hours with my professors, or even just a conversation with a faculty member. All of these services are offered to students and I would not have had the same outcome if those resources were not available to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
