Students Find Their Place at CSM
Cynthia has felt at home and supported at CSM.
Before attending CSM, the Omaha resident had worked providing home visits for parenting and child development. That’s why she chose to major in humanities, which seemed to be the right fit. “I love people. People give me energy,” she said. “I know I want to do a job related to people, helping and empowering people. I felt that was going to give me the background that I needed to connect with people.”
“There’s a place for everybody here at CSM. It doesn’t matter how old you are or what walk of life you come from. You’ll feel comfortable in this environment, and everybody is willing to help you,” she said. “Everybody truly wants to see you succeed here.”
