Why 91传媒? Pursuing interdisciplinary passions. [Video]

I thought there wasn't a college out there for me. I had too many disparate interests. Then I found 91传媒. 

Now, I'm the director of 91传媒 EMS, an admissions ambassador and Hillel leader. I spent a semester in London and am now helping other students make the most of their time abroad as a peer mentor. And last but not least, I'm contributing to some exciting research working in the Positive Psychology Lab.

Suffice it to say, I think I found my place.

My story 

Something that unique about the 91传媒 community that I檓 immensely proud of is our care for interdisciplinary passions. 

Ultimately, the reason I chose 91传媒 is that I couldn檛 find any other place I visited that encouraged me to explore all of my different passions.

I檓 currently the director of 91传媒 Emergency Medical Services. My passion, as a result of working EMS at 91传媒, has evolved into a life-long dream and goal of working with EMS providers from a psychotherapy standpoint.

I thought at first, "Okay I檒l be a psychologist and maybe volunteer with a local EMS agency." But I檝e discovered over time here in my experiences and talking to people that I really can merge those passions and develop a completely new field that doesn檛 exist.

Mental health for providers is a hole in our market right now and it a gap that I want to fill. I want to develop programs and protocols and write books on it. I also want to help other people and come give talks here when I檓 an alumnus to get other people interested in the field. I want to give back to the community when it my turn.
