Finance and Business Management

I transferred to Immaculata during spring of my freshman year. When first touring campus, the guide took us to some of their favorite spots on campus, and I was amazed by the beauty and openness. The admissions team was so supportive throughout the whole transfer process, and I was able to transfer all my credits from my previous school and match them with courses in my new program. My biggest piece of advice to future transfers would be to get involved on campus and make those connections. Push past your comfort zone, and you’ll be amazed at all you can accomplish at Immaculata.

“As a commuter, it’s very important for you to get involved. I say it all the time, but for commuters, it’s just as important for them to feel that this campus is just as much of a home as the residents,” Annemarie Bednar emphasizes.

During her first two years at Immaculata, Bednar became a student leader and took on progressively advanced leadership positions on campus, including serving as a New Student Orientation (NSO) leader and then co-chair of NSO. In addition, she was secretary of the Business Club and a member of Alpha Xi. As a senior, Bednar was the executive treasurer for the Student Government Association, an admissions ambassador, and with her experience as a commuter, she served as a commuter assistant.
