Pros
Autonomy, creative challenges, student-centered, opportunities for innovation, social justice oriented This is a very young campus with many opportunities to build programs and policies from ground up. Adaptable leadership who are ready to change things that are not working. It's not a 100-year old campus with a culture and leadership who won't budge the status quo. For the most part, UCM has no status quo when it comes to policy--I think leadership is constantly searching and striving for improvement in workflow, equity, and removing unnecessary barriers for students.
Cons
Not many opportunities for advancement (especial until the 2020 project has concluded) Rural location makes it difficult to: - meet people when you're single - find good health practitioners (e.g. women physicians, specialists, mental health providers) - find nightlife that is not overrun by students - get involved in the community - find liberal/progressive places of worship
