Faculty:
"All of the professors challenge me to look for new meanings in ideas and concepts I thought I knew well. But, even more, they offer to help me grow as an individual. Catawba's History faculty challenge me to grow in my future profession as a teacher as well as a person."
"My dream is to someday work in politics at the state or local level where I feel I can have the most positive impact on those constituents. The knowledge I'm gaining and the support I'm receiving from the very involved faculty at Catawba gives me confidence that my dream is well within my sights."
"I chose History as my major because I enjoyed the different History classes I took in high school. After taking several classes at Catawba and having countless talks with History faculty about my options, I discovered a career possibility in Historic Preservation."
"My goal is to go to law school and eventually practice [maybe] International Humanitarian Law. I came to Catawba because of the small class sizes and the unique ability to travel ... I chose Political Science because I want to make a difference on a large scale."
"The professors have a great line of communication with students and are never too busy to listen to you. I chose the Politics major with a concentration in Pre-Law because it is a challenging and interesting courseload, and I enjoy studying the inner workings of government and the law."
"I've always been intrigued by the formulation and enactment of public policy. For me the 2000 presidential election was a major determining factor in my decision to pursue a career in politics."
