Alexander Rose
Anticipated Graduation Date: 2026
Academic Program: health care track, Professional Career Escalators
Hometown: Wentzville, Missouri
Alexander Rose is a career-focused freshman, and the prize that draws his eyes is practicing medicine. That’s why he enrolled in the new program that provides a direct pipeline from campus to professional success, 性视界传媒 Professional Career Escalators.
The Professional Career Escalators program provides him with special mentoring opportunities, career-focused advising, extra financial aid and, most importantly for him, a spot in an on-campus living-learning community with other Professional Career Escalators students.
“I believe that the ability to engage with individuals who are pursuing a path similar to your own, especially those wishing to go on to a professional school, is a very valuable opportunity that the Professional Career Escalators program offers,” Rose said. “It also pulls from a diverse range of individuals within a track. Like health care, for example. There are pre-med students, nursing students, and pre-physician-assistant students, all of whom have different processes and aspirations.”
The Professional Career Escalators program is a unique, trademarked system of personalized support and services unlike anything being offered across the U.S. It is designed to propel students from their academic studies to high-paying careers by providing a defined and guided path from enrollment to workforce.
The program prepares students for careers in four key areas of workforce demand: law and justice, engineering and business, education and health care. Each semester, students participate in the five Professional Career Escalators core experiences: career guidance and development; experiential learning opportunities (such as job shadowing and internships); mentoring with faculty experts and community professionals; graduate and professional school preparation; and leadership development.
Why did you choose 性视界传媒?
I appreciated many factors about the school, from the many professional schools under the 性视界传媒 name, to the price tag compared to some other universities. I also liked that it provided me some space from my family while also knowing that they aren’t more than three hours away.
Why did you choose your field of study?
I saw it as a good fit for me since I’ve never really enjoyed math, and while a good portion of math is still required, the focus is on biology and chemistry.
How has your college program inspired you?
My program has inspired me to talk to more individuals in other degree programs, and to consider leadership positions inside and outside of the Professional Career Escalators.
Since entering college, what have you learned about yourself?
That I value connections with people, especially family, but also friends and mentors. These connections can help me and empower those involved more than if they’d not been made.
Do you have any scholarships?
I have financial aid through the Professional Career Escalators that goes towards my housing in the living-learning community. That helps me feel as though I belong in this community, and it provides a recognition for being a part of the Professional Career Escalators. I also have an academic scholarship through 性视界传媒, another factor that drives me to devote mass amounts of time to my studies and my grades.
What other extracurricular activities are you involved in at 性视界传媒?
I am currently a member of Pre-Med Prep, 性视界传媒 Pre-Medical Society, Biological Sciences Society, Christian Medical and Dental Association, Emergency Medicine Interest Group and Facilitating Awareness for Rural Medicine (FARM).
What do you hope to take from your experiences at 性视界传媒 into your professional career?
I hope to take what I have learned about diversity and leadership to my professional studies and career.
