Fill in the blank: “I’m a future _____.”

Here at Marymount’s Student Academic Hub, we understand that you’re pursuing your degree at Marymount because you have big plans for your future.

Here’s a chance to proudly display those plans through a personalized badge that showcases your future job title, career path, or area of expertise after you graduate. When the semester feels challenging, it can be good to remind yourself of your goals.

Ask yourself: how would you fill in the blank in the badge below?

Getting your own, personalized digital badge is simple: just email hub@marymount.edu with how you’d complete the sentence “I’m a future ________.” We will create your unique badge and send you the image file.

Once you receive your badge, what do you do with it? Here are a few ideas:

Add a small version to your email signature in your MU Gmail account. If you’re not sure how to do this, here is a guide. Feel free to email hub@marymount.edu for help if you get stuck.

Print it, cut it out, and tape it to the wall of your study space, your planner, or your laptop. Reminding yourself of your future goals will be a great motivator if you’re in a studying rut.

Customize a Zoom background with it. Find a Zoom background you like, open it in a photo editing website like Pixlr, and drag/drop your badge image file into the upper right corner. Then save your updated background and add it to Zoom. Here is a guide for doing that.

We’re excited to create your badge for you, so email us at hub@marymount.edu telling us how you’d complete the sentence “I’m a future ________.”
