Dominic previously received the Lakeview United Methodist Scholarship in 2020. He is from Tehachapi in California and also pursued a major in Military Science. Dominic chose to major in CCS out of his desire for promoting interpersonal relationships and says that he &#8220;wants everyone to feel accepted and respected, which is why I chose to study CCS- so that I could gain a better understanding of people and the communities\/values that exist between them.&#8221; Dominic also remarked on how his experience in CCS has helped him gain perspective of other cultures and &#8220;I can honestly say that I have become more open-minded and accepting of change, adversity, new concepts, and especially of different religions and their beliefs.&#8221; After graduation, he will commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army. He will initially be a Chaplain Candidate with an Education Delay to his active duty service obligation as he completes his seminary education to become a Catholic priest. The Diocese of Phoenix recently accepted Dominic as a seminarian and he will attend St. John Vianney&#8217;s Seminary in Denver, Colorado in the Fall of 2022.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">We are so proud of all you have accomplished Dominic!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to CCS major (emphasis in the Comparative Study of Religions) Dominic Counihan, our spring 2022 Outstanding Senior!
