"Cura personalis" meets the definition is care for though whole person. But I think that's really evident in our approach in the School of Education and Human Development. We take a really great interest in our students. And they take an interest in us as well. And we work very closely together. So "cura personalis" is our investment in our students. And that's reciprocated, I think, across all faculty, all staff, our administration and alumni as well.

At St. Joe's, there are different opportunities, there's a multitude of resources for students to get involved with doing hands on research, in laboratories or in classrooms with professors. For me in particular, I'm looking to get involved with a program called Summer Scholars where over the summer, I'll work one on one with a faculty mentor. And together we'll work on a research project. And then to be able to present that at a conference with other peers and other professionals in the field. It's, it's truly a remarkable opportunity.

I think my favorite part about our program is that we send students into classrooms the second week of school as a freshman. And that's a pretty unique model. So they get to see and have experiences in urban schools and private schools and charter schools and parochial schools. In the inner city in the suburbs. We really tried to be intentional.

So when I graduated St. Joe's I do plan to be a teacher in high school somewhere probably near my hometown. I know that if I want to participate in a master's program or a higher education program, I have the opportunity. St. Joe's has a plethora of different experiences for master's degree, or for the EDD the doctorate in interdisciplinary education. I'm definitely still figuring it out. But I know that I've got so many options just here at St. Joe's
