Meet Unity College student Summer

Summer recently took the Animal Health and Disease course at Unity College with Professor Amber Ramos.

"One of the main reasons I chose Unity is for their remote learning capability which, as a military spouse and mother, offered greater freedom and flexibility to further my education than a traditional, in-person environment could. For instance, when I started at Unity, we were stationed in Honolulu, HI and in the little, over two years it has taken to complete my degree, we have since been relocated to San Antonio, TX. If I had been attending just about any other college, I would have had to transfer schools and potentially lose out on valuable time, credits, and money.

With this second degree, I hope to gain a foundation upon which to build a successful and impactful career in environmental conservation. I just completed ANIM305: Animal Health and Disease with Professor Amber Ramos and, although I'll admit it wasn't a requirement I was necessarily looking forward to fulfilling at first, it ended up being my favorite course and instructor of the entire program! The subject matter is all too relatable, especially considering the recent coronavirus pandemic, and the incorporation of social media made the coursework that much more relevant and engaging. However, what I enjoyed most about this class was how the weekly assignments built up to the final project, which significantly alleviated the usual stress associated with the end of a term. Professor Ramos was influential to me because her background is quite similar to what I aspire to be doing someday, and her feedback on my work was very encouraging and uplifting."
