Expectations

“I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know; the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.” Albert Schweitzer

What is expected of a McCormack Scholar?

McCormack Scholars are expected to challenge themselves. They are urged to explore new ideas and new worlds and to take intellectual and professional risks.

They are encouraged to dream largely and to pursue their dreams aggressively.

They are expected to set goals and to take advantage of the mentoring and support offered by the college and the McCormack Scholarship staff to plan a program that will help them achieve their goals.

Scholars are expected to work with their program mentors to plan a series of summer experiences that will expand upon their academic experience and empower them to develop their full potential.

Scholars are expected to maintain their academic standing and to be active, involved participants in the Manhattanville community.

McCormack Scholars are expected to become engaged citizens both in their chosen field of endeavor and in the community at large.

And perhaps most importantly, scholars are expected to give back to those people and institutions that have supported them – their college, their communities and the world. Each scholar will meet these expectations in his or her own unique way.
