Why they Chose beloit

‘My professors have pushed me to see new things’

Nicoló Petroccione feels the support of his Beloit mentors and peers — on the basketball court, in the classroom, and beyond. Beloit’s curriculum has encouraged Petroccione to open his mind and explore new areas of study. “My professors have pushed me to see new things, and everything I study is influential,” he says.

Petroccione is a rising senior and Orientation Leader (OL). New Beloiters will meet him and the OL team at Summer Orientation (July 6-15).

Physics and astronomy professor Britt Scharringhausen uses tabletop role-playing games to incorporate math concepts and broader life lessons into her teaching.

“One of my favorite definitions of ‘game’ is that it’s a series of interesting choices. I think about how classrooms can be like that,” says Scharringhausen. “I want to create lots of opportunities for that lightbulb moment to happen.”
