Meet Unity College student Piper!
Piper recently took the Marine Mammal & Seabird Biology course at Unity College with Professor Tanya Lubansky.
"The biggest reason I chose Unity is flexibility. I wanted to be able to pursue my career and move wherever I needed to while still attending college. While I currently live in New Jersey, I've lived in 3 different states over the course of my degree so far. I completed my zookeeping internship, got my first seasonal position, and moved halfway across the country for my first permanent position without ever having to put a pause on my degree. Having a school that travels with me has allowed me more opportunities than I could've possibly imagined.
The Marine Mammal & Seabird Biology course has been one of my favorite classes I've taken at Unity. While it isn't required for my degree, I chose it as one of my electives. I've always been fascinated by the ocean and the animals that rely on it to survive. Also, you can't always predict what animals you'll be working with as a zookeeper, so I wanted to broaden my knowledge in the event that I work with them. Our professor, Tanya Lubanski, was fantastic. She made even the most difficult assignments a blast and was always there to answer questions or talk more about the material.
My favorite part of the course was just how interactive it was. Many online schools are missing the core element of interactivity in their curriculum, but Unity College always goes out of its way to immerse its students in what they're studying. In this class, for example, we had multiple XR experiences that really made you feel like you were doing something hands-on. That level of interaction can really make a difference."
