The Mount prepares you as a critical thinker, skilled communicator and effective professional, and yet we’ve long recognized that there’s more to life than career. It’s also about being productive citizens and ethical leaders ready, willing and able to contribute to the greater good.
Inspiring you to lead a meaningful life; that’s what we mean when we say, it’s about something much bigger than any of us.
