A Westminster education sets the foundation for a successful future.
Megan’s story of growth,
self-discovery at Westminster
Not only is senior psychology
major Megan Douds a familiar face
around campus, she also epitomizes
the essence of what Westminster
offers students — a quality education
and holistic personal and professional
development.
“Westminster has definitely
shaped me into the person I am,”
Megan said. “I’ve learned a lot about
myself and being independent while
at Westminster.”
Westminster’s rich liberal arts
tradition allowed Megan to explore
all of her interests in order to
discover her perfect major and even
pick up a minor in communications.
And now that she’s finished with
her psychology senior research
project, Megan says she feels very
well-rounded and prepared for the
next phase of her life.
“My favorite part of the psychology
department is the wide range of
specialties that the faculty have,”
she said.
“All of the professors truly care
about the students and go above
and beyond for us. My peers are
so supportive and involved — it’s a
family.”
Between juggling a full course
load and serving as captain of the
swimming and diving team, Megan
is also president of her sorority, a
student philanthropy ambassador
and a member of Titan Guides and
the Student Alumni Association.
She also gives community swim
lessons.
“All of my experiences here
have shaped me to be driven and
compassionate,” she said. “I’ve
been able to be myself while at
Westminster, and I’m so thankful for
my time here and all of the people
I’ve met.”
While the Westminster experience
is unique for each Titan, one thing
students and alumni share is the
tight-knit WC community that
remains “home” for years to come.
Westminster fosters many
opportunities for collaboration with
peers, faculty and alumni.
Our academic curriculum provides
plenty of chances for experiential
learning through invigorating
classroom instruction, undergraduate
research and practical internships.
A Westminster education sets the
foundation for a successful future.
“Westminster has given me so
much real-world experience,” Megan
said.
“From conducting my own
research and different internships
to just learning skills that will help
me as I interview and apply for jobs,
I couldn’t have asked for a better
undergraduate experience.”
