Honors Staff: Cliff McNish
|
Greetings from a native of Asbury Park, N J. I am an Assistant Director for Pre-College Outreach. I earned my bachelor degree in speech communications, my master's degree, guidance and counseling, a graduate certificate in secondary teaching and completed doctoral course work in higher education administration. With over twenty years of experience in higher education, I choose to join the Honors Program because it met my professional values and philosophy of transformative learning. I enjoy the challenges of living a healthy, productive, and balance life. One of my passions is playing basketball.
MY BEST ADVICE:
Explore - Explore!! This is your opportunity to take classes in a subject you have never taken before. Take the opportunity to live, interact, and learn from students whose perspective and experiences are different from yours. Select a course of study that meets your values, not someone else's. Maintain a healthy, balance life here at Miami. De-stress as needed. Have fun and take care of business. In short: take good care of yourself.
BY THE TIME YOU GRADUATE:
You should be comfortable and confident with yourself. You will have a higher self-awareness about yourself and your environment. You will have increased your analytical skills and ability to think and act critically. You will have the capacity to contribute to the larger society and engage in discussions and debates to improve the quality of life for all people. You will know that career happiness begins by understanding if you are a a person who lives to work or works to live. |
