STUDENT SIGHTINGS
NLU STUDENTS: POSITIONED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
National Louis University alumni and students are among an elite group of difference-makers. Last year, National Louis University’s degree programs in teaching, counseling, psychology, human services, healthcare leadership and more propelled the school to a Money Magazine national list of “10 Colleges Whose Graduates Say They Make the World a Better Place.” Seventy-seven percent of NLU graduates responding to a PayScale.com survey said their careers are meaningful and help others, compared to a national average of 54 percent of all alumni responding to the same survey. While some consider helping others a virtue in itself, research is increasingly indicating that it contributes to overall life happiness, according to PayScale.com surveys and the United Nations’ World Happiness Report research. Meet three National Louis students who are making a difference, finding meaning in their careers and are doing their part to make the world a better, happier place.
