Text on screen: Laura Rodak BA, Business Administration 鈥�22
Laura Rodak: Being a transfer student from a community college to a university sometimes can be
a little hard. There's a lot of paperwork. You have to see what requirements you meet.
[Rodak walks into a classroom, smiling.]
Rodak: It can get overwhelming. However, at 四虎影视, they were able to walk you
through the process, the application, the financial aid office, admissions.
[Rodak fills out a form with a pen on a purple clipboard. She talks to someone in
the hall while holding some paperwork.]
[The other student is a welcome student who is smiling and gesturing welcome with
hands.]
[Another student is seen getting up from behind the admissions counter in the admissions
office. There are Gorloks and photos on the walls. There is a bowl of pens, a computer,
a cell phone, a drink, a notebook and some eyeglasses on the desk.]
Rodak: So, it's not just one person. It's a whole team behind it.
[Rodak is in the admissions office, smiling and holding her paperwork. Background
screen on wall in office says, Welcome to 四虎影视! Dustin Hock.]
[Rodak in hallway talking to the camera again.]
Rodak: I started as a transfer student from a community college and the reason why I started
there was because I had no idea what I wanted it to do.
[Rodak in an empty classroom with her textbook, writing in her notebook and looking
at her open laptop in front of her.]
Rodak: Being a transfer student gave me the opportunity to kind of explore and see different
options for me.
[Rodak back in the hallway talking to the camera.]
Rodak: I remember taking a tour, and in the tour, they told us how the classes are, uh,
smaller than a normal university, and to be honest, that kind of scared me a little
bit to have the one-on-one with an instructor.
[Rodak pictured from the side with glasses on face and writing something in her notebook
at the desk in a classroom. The classroom door is in the distance.]
Rodak: However, it was(苍鈥檛) until I actually went into the classroom (and had) the interaction with the professor.
[A professor is shown at the front of the classroom talking and gesturing to the classroom.]
Rodak: They want you to be successful. They want to help you.
[Rodak is shown looking at the professor from the desks.]
[More views of the professor and Rodak interacting as teacher and student.]
[Then professor is shown in office sitting across from Rodak in a one-on-one visit.
Professor鈥檚 office has plants sitting on windowsill. Several monitors are on her desk.
A squishy Gorlok is sitting next to pen and pencil holder. There is an office landline
phone on the desk. A heater coil can be seen in the background against the wall of
the office. Rodak is writing notes down as the discussion continues. Both are smiling.]
[Shows both the professor and the student in a hallway of one of the academic buildings
sitting at a small table talking. Rodak has her laptop open, and she is typing in
some of what they are saying to each other. There are other tan and white tables and
blue chairs in the background down the same corridor.]
Rodak: They're not here just to teach you a class, they're here to actually push you to
be better to find yourself.
[Rodak is back in hallway talking to the camera.]
Rodak: When I was a student back in the community college, I was shy even though I got all
my homework done. I got all my classes done, I never actually got involved.
[Five students, one which is Rodak, pictured outside talking and sitting on benches
at the waterfall outside Luhr Building on campus. Some brick buildings can be seen
in the background also lined with trees and bushes and a clear blue sky with sunshine.]
[Light music plays behind Rodak鈥檚 voice. All students smiling, talking and laughing
together.]
[Rodak smiles for camera and shown in building with a sign behind her that says, 鈥淯nlock
Your Gorlok.鈥� She gives a high five to a Webster employee as a few others gather around
to talk and visit in the hallway of an academic building.]
Rodak: Here at Webster, I felt like I fit in perfectly, and I was able to show the real
me, and that's something that I don't think I will be able to do in another university.
[Rodak is shown outside under a tree, smiling at camera.]
