Why St. John's?
From the moment I stepped onto the St. John's campus as a student,
I knew I had found a home. It is a place that I have come to love
deeply; respecting and upholding the mission and values that the
university stand upon and sharing this with our students on a daily
basis. As an employee, St. John's has provided me with the proper
tools and environment to develop a fulfilling and meaningful
career.
Why VMI?
As a member of the STJ family I have had the opportunity to explore
my faith and passion over the years. Through the many faith and
service opportunities and reflections that I have participated
locally and abroad through STJ, I have found that "being
Vincentian" is what I have always strived to be. The VMI is an
opportunity to explore my faith and values with others at
Vincentian Universities and have the opportunity to share this
knowledge with colleagues and students in the years to
come.
