A 2025 National CCAA Transfer Scholarship recipient, Mallory will attend University of Detroit Mercy. She shared that many factors went into her decision to enroll. "University of Detroit Mercy has a great reputation in the healthcare community. As someone continuing their nursing education, this was important to me. The community college I earned my Associate's Degree in Nursing at has a positive relationship with UDM, and this made transferring very simple as well."
Mallory previously attended Oakland Community College and at University of Detroit Mercy, she will pursue a Nursing major. When asked about her future plans, she shared, "I recently became a Registered Nurse and started working on a Labor and Delivery Unit, which has always been a dream of mine. My plan is to continue to grow, learn, and work in the Women's Health space. I want to make an impact on the moms and babies I work with, specifically in the area of bereaved mothers. Finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing will allow me to teach other future nurses, which is also a goal of mine as well."
We asked Mallory:
Why did you choose to attend a Catholic college/university?
I have heard some many good things about the sense of community that University of Detroit Mercy provides being a faith based university. I also really appreciate their core values focusing on community engagement and using so many resources to give back to the city of Detroit.
What aspect of your college/university are you most excited about?
I'm just really excited to continue to learn and gain more knowledge to grow as a nurse. I know UDM has a great nursing program, so I look forward to learning there.
What one tip about the transfer process would you share with future transfer students?
Research school early on so you know what they are looking for. It also helps you to know what your options are so you can check off all of your boxes as well.
What advice would you share with students who are considering transferring?
Be open to any and all opportunities!
