Steven Griffith
Class of 2011
Steven Griffith is a 2011 Schreiner
graduate who majored in biochemistry.
He is now a graduate student on a research assistant
fellowship at the University of Virginia, pursuing a
doctorate in biochemistry and molecular genetics.
“I hope eventually to achieve a research position with
a pharmaceutical company,” Steven said. “Specifically,
I’d like to work in drug development, focusing either
on ways to understand and enhance vascular injury and
repair or on novel ways to inhibit cancer metastasis.”
He said that his opportunities and education at
Schreiner paved the way for a smooth transition into
graduate school.
“Schreiner provided me with independent research
experience with Dr. Vines over the course of first
a summer and then over a year. I was exposed to
professional academic conferences, such as the American
Chemical Society conferences and the Texas Academy
of Science meetings and had the chance to present my
scientific findings to others. This enabled me to begin
networking with other faculty and universities. Through
Schreiner, I was able to obtain an internship with the
Southwest National Primate Research Center/Southwest
Foundation for Biomedical Research and gain valuable
experience in a nonacademic scientific environment.
Finally, Career Services helped me to fine-tune my resume
before submitting it for graduate school. Schreiner
provided me with every opportunity to make me a very
competitive applicant for graduate school and has made
me well prepared for life outside of academia.”
As with so many of our students, size was major factor
in Steven selecting Schreiner—that and he loved the Hill
Country when he made his campus visit.
“I chose Schreiner for the small class size and close
relationships with faculty,” he said. “I knew that by picking
Schreiner, I was also selecting teachers who would be
invested in me both at Schreiner and afterwards. Schreiner
is small enough that you’re able to connect with your
faculty and large enough to provide you with a wide
variety of things to do. With its current size, teachers are
able to take a real interest in your education. Schreiner
faculty members go above and beyond to make sure that
each and every student is equipped to succeed. I think that
Schreiner’s size is what makes that possible.
“During my campus visit everybody was so friendly
and smiling, plus the location in the Hill Country is
amazing! There were so many outdoor activities available,
and free rentals from campus rec. In the end, I guess you
can say I picked Schreiner because, out of all the schools
I toured and interviewed at, I really felt that Schreiner
would best prepare me for the next stage in my life.”
When asked about his overall experience at Schreiner,
he said, “At Schreiner I received a—pardon the
cliché—‘well rounded’ education. I received classroom
education, I received hands-on education, I had internship
opportunities and national conference exposure. I was
able to determine where I wanted to go after Schreiner
and what I wanted to do. And that’s just academics! I went
backpacking in the mountains of Montana with campus
rec, organized service events for Student Senate, traveled
to France with Campus Ministry, served as the Peer
Minister for both Delaney and LA/Flato residence halls and
deepened my faith in Jesus Christ. All of that was great, but
what truly made my Schreiner experience memorable were
the relationships: hanging out with my friends at 1 a.m.,
ultimate Frisbee, waking up to find my truck completely
covered in sticky notes, playing Ninja Pose in the hallway—
all of it contributed to my great memories of Schreiner.
Through those activities I met a wonderful woman [Erica
Taylor, ’11] who is now my wife.”
“What was my Schreiner experience like? Incredible,
amazing, fantastic, unforgettable and truly indescribable.”
Katie Murphy
Class of 2011
“Knowing that your professor actually cares
about your success was invaluable.”
– Katie Murphy
Katie Murphy graduated from Schreiner
in May 2011 and within a couple of weeks was
working for Hill Country Memorial Hospital Foundation
in Fredericksburg as the administrative assistant.
“When I started thinking about getting a job after
graduation I went to Cristina Martinez in Career
Services for help with my résumé,” said Katie, who
majored in psychology. “She gave me tips in what
employers were looking for and how to format my
résumé. She also helped me sign up on a résumé
sharing site for potential employers. Without that
help, I wouldn’t have even known where to begin.”
Katie is from Jourdanton, Texas, and said she
chose Schreiner initially because of its size and the
smaller classes.
“The idea of going to a college where I would just
be a face in the crowd didn’t appeal to me,” she said.
“I wanted to go to college in a place that felt like a
community and I knew right away that Schreiner was
that place.”
Even in a smaller school like Schreiner, Katie wasn’t
quite comfortable about being at college at first.
“When I first started school I was afraid of being
on my own and having to make new friends. I didn’t
know what to expect from teachers and classes or work
study positions. But almost right from the get-go I
was put at ease by all of the people that make up the
Schreiner community. At Schreiner, you are surrounded
by so many opportunities and it didn’t take long
for me to find my place within my major, with new
groups of people, and with extracurricular activities
such as Campus Ministry, Student Ambassadors,
Student Activity Board and Delta Phi Epsilon sorority.
I wouldn’t trade my experience at Schreiner University
for the world.”
Katie has nothing but praise for her Schreiner
experience, especially for the faculty and staff she met
and interacted with over her four years hear.
“For me, the best part about attending Schreiner was
being surrounded by faculty and staff who were very
passionate about students’ success,” she said. “I can’t
tell you the number of times I was encouraged by a
professor or my work-study boss and other Student
Services staff members. Knowing that your professor
actually cares about your success was invaluable.”
Schreiner emphasizes learning outside the
classroom as well as inside, and Katie is grateful for
those lessons, as well.
“I don’t think you can attend college at a place like
Schreiner University without learning some valuable
life lessons,” she added. “In my four years there I
certainly learned a little bit about independence and
the responsibility that comes along with it. I learned
about setting goals and working towards those
goals with integrity and perseverance. Through my
extracurricular activities, especially by participating in
Greek Life, I learned valuable lessons about leadership,
compassion, community and friendship.
“I may have started school afraid of my own
shadow and unsure about what the future held for
me, but I didn’t leave that way. When I graduated
from Schreiner University it was with more confidence
than I ever dreamed I could have and with the assurance
that the lessons I learned would serve as a foundation
for my future.”
