00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:03.500
I participated in the Bachelor of Professional Studies

2
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:07.659
program. I didn't necessarily want to be

3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:11.219
one that practiced law in the courtroom, per se,

4
00:00:11.639 --> 00:00:15.599
but more or less to have the legal knowledge to be able to help others

5
00:00:15.859 --> 00:00:17.139
obtain resources

6
00:00:17.959 --> 00:00:21.459
in the communities, especially in the historically disadvantaged

7
00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:25.000
communities. Dominican University provided the

8
00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:27.319
opportunity for me to

9
00:00:29.459 --> 00:00:32.500
start an entirely new career. Many of my

10
00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:34.439
classmates were

11
00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:40.059
gaining more knowledge in the field that they were in, and some,

12
00:00:40.180 --> 00:00:44.079
like me, were starting completely different careers, doing things they had

13
00:00:44.099 --> 00:00:45.000
never done before.

14
00:00:46.059 --> 00:00:49.979
I would recommend Dominican University for the non-traditional student, students

15
00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:51.899
that are going back to class at 50,

16
00:00:53.319 --> 00:00:57.119
trying a new career, even if it's just one class at a time

17
00:00:57.199 --> 00:00:59.919
or two classes at a time, like I did every eight weeks.

18
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.059
Dominican University provided the opportunity for me to

19
00:01:04.100 --> 00:01:07.839
continue working as I was and to

20
00:01:07.939 --> 00:01:11.619
study year-round, and I was able to complete my

21
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.279
Bachelor in Professional Studies with a dual major in three years.

22
00:01:16.199 --> 00:01:18.099
So I would recommend it for

23
00:01:18.979 --> 00:01:20.779
the older

24
00:01:21.259 --> 00:01:24.359
student. I've always said

25
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.319
to my friends and family that

26
00:01:28.639 --> 00:01:31.859
it is my intent to seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.

27
00:01:31.939 --> 00:01:32.919
You never stop learning.
