FROM THE PRESIDENT
The stakes in higher education are getting, well, higher.
Competition for the best students is mounting, their
expectations are continually on the rise, and the need to close
the affordability gap is critical. I’m proud of Saint Joseph’s
position in this market and of our ongoing efforts to answer
these challenges.
As you look back on the past year in this report, you’ll see how
Saint Joseph’s is staying ahead. You’ll read about the impact
of our investment on the student experience, scholarships and
our centers and institutes. Page after page illustrates the quality
of our academic offerings, the caliber of our students and the
distinguishing attributes of a Jesuit education.
In my first year as president, I encountered first-rate faculty who
bring creativity and innovation to our classrooms, exceptional
students who understand that the college years are ripe with
opportunity, and engaged alumni who prove the enduring
value of a Saint Joseph’s education in their professional
accomplishments and their personal fulfillment.
It was a tremendous year from the very start with our historic
visit from Pope Francis. We must maximize that momentum
and continually connect our assets to our ambitions. Smart
institutions know that keeping pace isn’t enough.
For students and families who are now deciding which college
or university to invest in, Saint Joseph’s is a top choice. Our
outcomes are compelling: 97 percent of the Class of 2015
is employed, in graduate school or participating in service
programs. Students earning their master’s or doctoral degrees
see career advancement, expanded responsibilities and a nearly
20 percent salary increase on average. Our academic offerings
are nationally recognized, relevant, attractive and infused with
a liberal arts core that develops graduates who stand out in the
workforce.

Kinney Center Assists in Transition to Adulthood
Autism is aging.
That is, more than 50,000 individuals with autism reach adulthood —
their 18th birthday — each year. With that milestone, they must apply for
the services they’ve come to rely on, and the availability of funding and
acceptance to quality programs taught by highly trained and certified staff
can be challenging.
The Kinney Center for Autism Education and Support has seen a rise
in teenagers and young adult program participants — from 47 in 2013 to
165 in 2015 — and its waiting list has grown to more than 30 families for
the day program’s 10 places.
“As the Kinney Center established itself as a trusted resource for the
Greater Philadelphia autism community, we quickly learned that there
were gaps in services,” says Executive Director Ryan Hammond ’13
(MBA). “Initially we were compelled to respond to the growing number
of diagnoses, estimated to be one in 68 children. We’re now sharing that
focus with the teen and adult populations, who may need our services
most of all.”
The Kinney Center’s ASPIRE program, now in its fifth year, offers
college support for individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. The
most comprehensive program of its kind in the Philadelphia area, it has
become a model for other colleges and universities and has grown from
three students in 2012 to 20 in 2016.
In May 2016, SJU’s first two ASPIRE students graduated. One accepted
a fellowship from Princeton University in atmospheric and oceanic science.
The other is working and pursuing certifications in actuarial science.
The Kinney Center has become a destination for teens and young adults
who want to experience college life on campus with same-aged peers who
serve as mentors and models. But the Kinney Center is helping older adults
as well — one participant is 72.
Life and social skills programs are also available to build autonomy in
areas such as money management, meal preparation, personal hygiene and
health, housekeeping, and emergency and safety skills.
“Challenging behaviors can be tougher to manage in adults than
in children,” says Kinney SCHOLAR Lauren Carson ’17, an autism
behavioral studies and psychology double major from Deptford, New
Jersey. “But the reward is the gradual progress toward independence.
With the right support, we can help these individuals reach their fullest
potential.”

Clinical Bioethics Institute Gains International Client
SJU’s Institute of Clinical Bioethics (ICB) accepted its first international bioethics consultancy
at the Caritas Baby Hospital in Bethlehem, Palestine, as part of its mission to educate health care
professionals as effective leaders. The charity hospital provides care for nearly 40,000 children on the
West Bank and in Gaza, many of whom are refugees.
The affiliation has opened new avenues of research for SJU undergraduate and graduate students
and enriched pre-medical students’ understanding of Jewish and Muslim perspectives on bioethics.
“This experience will enable our students who become practicing physicians to communicate more
effectively with patients who follow these faith traditions,” says Institute Director Peter Clark, S.J. ’75
(B.A.), professor of theology and health services.
In addition to its consultancy work, the ICB exposes SJU students to the growing field of
biomedical ethics through the minor in interdisciplinary health care ethics and the Allen and Dolores
Gustafson Distinguished Research Fellows Program.

Haubs Support Family Business and Entrepreneurship
After participating in a symposium on leadership succession hosted by SJU’s Initiative for Family
Business and Entrepreneurship (IFBE) in fall 2015, Christian and Liliane Haub pledged their financial
support to maintain and expand the initiative over the next three years.
“The success and endurance of family businesses over several generations is still the exception, but
with initiatives such as IFBE, we can ensure that many more family businesses accomplish successful
transitions from generation to generation,” says Christian Haub, Co-CEO of the Tengelmann Group
and chairman and president of Emil Capital Partners in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The IFBE provides entrepreneurial families the support, guidance and tools necessary to increase
long-term competitiveness, ownership prosperity and family unity for generations.

Summer Scholars: Meaningful Research
with Faculty Mentors
A Sampling of
Summer Scholars
In her first year as a Summer Scholar in 2015, biology major Marisa Egan ’18 made a
scientific discovery that may be the first step in ultimately enabling the medical community to
develop a vaccine. She conducted her research on campus, in the Science Center laboratory,
under the direction of faculty mentor Shantanu Bhatt, Ph.D., assistant professor of biology.
This past summer, they continued their groundbreaking work.
Egan is just one of the 95 SJU undergraduates who immersed themselves in Summer
Scholars projects in 2016.
Under the direction of faculty mentors, students in the annual 11-week program engage
in creative projects, scholarship and independent research, and receive a stipend and the
opportunity for subsidized campus housing.
“The Summer Scholars program provides a great opportunity for all students to enhance
their college experience by working closely with a faculty member and by becoming an expert
in one’s research area,” says Jean Smolen, Ph.D., director of the program and associate dean of
the natural sciences, mathematics and computer science.
Egan and Bhatt have focused their research on Escherichia albertii, a pathogenic bacterium
in the same family as E. coli, that attacks the intestines of humans. The drug-resistant organism
has no vaccine and largely affects infants in developing countries, although some cases have
appeared in adults in Japan and Germany.
The pair was the first team to successfully engineer a mutation in the pathogen since the
bacterium was isolated 25 years ago.
“The goal of our research is to understand how E. albertii causes sickness by creating
mutations in its genome,” says Egan, who is also a McNulty Scholar, a program for highachieving young women who pursue degrees in one of the natural sciences, mathematics or
computer science. “Understanding the genes that contribute to its disease-causing ability may
lead to the development of a drug that can attack those genes.”
Egan, who received a Barry Goldwater Scholarship honorable mention, has minors in
mathematics, philosophy and chemistry. She enjoys the abundance of time that comes with
doing her research as part of the Summer Scholars program.
“I love immersing myself in the work,” she says. “There are no daily time limits with
Summer Scholars. I can come in early and leave late. The entire day can revolve around
research.”
Their discovery was published in Biological Procedures Online (2016), with Egan as the
lead author. Additional papers, led by Bhatt and co-authored by Egan and other researchers,
were published in 2016 in Gene & Translational Bioinformatics and Frontiers in Cellular and
Infection Microbiology.
The Summer Scholars program was established formally in 2006, and support includes
institutional funding, research grants of individual faculty members, corporate sponsors and
alumni gifts.
“Summer Scholars provides a unique training experience for our students as they prepare
for their careers of interest,” says Nick Nicolaides ’87 (B.S.), Ph.D., president and CEO of
Morphotek and longtime supporter of the Summer Scholars program. “I believe strongly
that Summer Scholars, along with the other major-specific programs offered at SJU, provides
our students an advantage in the workplace as well as in post-graduate education. The close
mentoring by our faculty and the hands-on experience of formulating a hypothesis and
implementing a strategy to achieve its goals is a powerful experiential tool that uniquely
prepares our students to become leaders in industry and the community.”

Students Participate in Political
Convention Seminars
Seven SJU students joined 350 others from colleges and universities
spanning the country for The Washington Center for Internships and
Academic Seminars’ Democratic and Republican National Convention
programs in July. Two-week sessions were held in Cleveland for the
Republican National Convention and in Philadelphia for the Democratic
National Convention. Through academic partnerships with Temple
University and Baldwin Wallace University, students attended guest
lectures led by prominent political leaders and scholars and then
volunteered on the convention grounds.
“The Washington Center Academic Seminars at the RNCC and DNCC
provided our students the invaluable experience of witnessing and actively
participating in the process of nominating our presidential candidates,”
says Becki Scola, Ph.D., chair and associate professor of political science,
who accompanied the SJU students to the DNCC in Philadelphia. “The
seminars and related events were true experiential learning opportunities,
and students fully immersed themselves in convention activities. As interns,
our students were an integral part of many organizations, including CNN,
Fox and the Convention Host Committees, just to name a few.”

International relations major Gage Huber ’17 and communication
studies major Erin Cooper ’17 attended the Republican National Seminar
in Cleveland. “I had a chance to meet some of the great movers and

Five students attended the Democratic National Convention seminar
in Philadelphia, including political science major Christina Ciconte ’17.
“The best part of the program was my placement in the building allowed
me to hear all the speeches for four days and encounter many politicians
walking to their seats,” she says. Political science majors Max Barrile ’18
and Matthew Slavoski ’17, as well as history majors Julian Chalifoux ’17
and Matthew Sibona ’18, also attended.
“The conventions give students an insider’s perspective on the political
process and a front-row seat to history,” says Washington Center President
Mike Smith. “This seminar is an immersion into the campaign world,
giving students numerous opportunities to study the nomination process
from start to finish. I can’t think of a more meaningful way to take part in
political discourse.”

Maguire Foundation Strengthens Catholic School
Leadership
A Selection of
Award-Winning Students
Saint Joseph’s welcomed its inaugural class of 20 Maguire Educational Leadership Fellows
in the spring 2016 semester. The Maguire Foundation awarded the University’s Department of
Educational Leadership $400,000 to establish the hybrid master’s degree/certification program,
designed for future leaders who aspire to hold key positions in Catholic schools.
“Our goal is to strengthen leadership in the Catholic schools in the Greater Philadelphia
area and offer students high-quality Catholic school options for their high school education,”
says James J. Maguire ’58 (B.S.), co-founder of the foundation.
Grounded in Saint Joseph’s Ignatian heritage, the program seeks to cultivate knowledgeable,
caring, reflective and socially conscientious educators who can think critically and advocate
intentionally for all PK-12 students.
“The Maguire Foundation’s generosity will have far-reaching effects on the achievement rate
of students in Philadelphia’s Catholic high schools now and into the future,” says Associate
Dean for Education John Vacca, Ph.D.
The first cohort will complete the 36-credit program in winter 2017. Graduates earn
master’s degrees in educational leadership along with state principal certifications, and commit
to staying at their schools for at least another three years after finishing the program.
Donald Holdren, chair of the fine arts department at Mount Saint Joseph Academy in
Flourtown, Pennsylvania, is a Maguire Fellow.
“Catholic education is crucial because of its focus on the dignity and promise of every
child,” he says. “I hope to use the tools I’ve gained at Saint Joseph’s to make a positive impact
on my classroom, department and school community.”

National Jesuit Business Student Alliance
Meets on Campus
Saint Joseph’s University hosted the first annual Jesuit Business Student
Alliance (JBSA) Conference in April 2016. A national networking
organization for business students of Jesuit colleges and universities, the
JBSA was formalized in 2013 by SJU students in the Haub School of
Business and founder Pat O’Brien, HSB associate dean.
“The conference was an excellent opportunity for our students to come
together to build a Jesuit network,” says O’Brien, who also founded the
Jesuit Business Undergraduate Group, comprised of associate deans of Jesuit
business schools. “We hope this is just the beginning.”
Students from Georgetown, Creighton, Fordham, St. Louis and St. Peter’s
universities traveled to Saint Joseph’s to engage in discussions of ethical
business practices and opportunities to network with Jesuit university
alumni.
“It was great to meet like-minded Jesuit business students and connect
with them on topics relative to our studies,” says Jack McWilliams ’16,
president of Saint Joseph’s chapter of JBSA. “It helps us to learn from one
another and evolve in our Jesuit values.”
Students prepared for the conference with an eight-week online
management course, Ethical Practices in Business, which was the guiding
theme of their meetings on Hawk Hill. Students delivered their final
presentations for the course, taught by Ronald Duska, Ph.D., SJU adjunct
professor and executive director of the Society of Business Ethics, at the
conference. In addition to McWilliams, Saint Joseph’s student participants
included Mark Andrade ’17, Louis Andreacchio ’18, Alexandra Natale ’18,
Joseph Quartucio ’16, Elizabeth Raffo ’18 and Alissa Salvitti ’17.

Philadelphia sculptor Joshua Koffman created the monument “Synagoga and Ecclesia in Our Time” in consultation with
Philip Cunningham, Ph.D., professor of theology and director of the SJU Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations, and
Adam Gregerman, Ph.D., assistant professor of Jewish Studies and IJCR assistant director.
Students Celebrate First Anniversary of Papal Visit
To mark the one-year anniversary of Pope Francis’s visit to Philadelphia
(Sept. 26-27, 2015) for the World Meeting of Families and his stop on
campus, Saint Joseph’s Student Senate, Campus Ministry and the student
board of SJU’s Alpha Sigma Nu chapter, the honor society of Jesuit
colleges and universities, sponsored several commemorative events on
Sept. 27.
The day featured a special Mass for the Intentions of Pope Francis,
held in the Chapel of St. Joseph-Michael J. Smith, S.J., Memorial. Later,
students, faculty and staff gathered on the plaza in front of the Chapel,
where the Holy Father blessed the interfaith sculpture “Synagoga and
Ecclesia in Our Time,” which portrays today’s Jewish-Catholic relationship
of friendship.
The bronze sculpture embodies two feminine figures, based on the
medieval allegorical figures Synagoga (Synagogue) and Ecclesia (Church).
Each holds documents representing their religions: Synagoga, a Torah
scroll, and Ecclesia, a Bible. The monument’s dedication last year marked
the 50th anniversary of Nostra Aetate, the Declaration on the Relationship
of the Church to Non-Christian Religions, which encourages dialogues
with all faiths.
“Our students prayed with Vatican officials, the Archbishop of
Philadelphia and Jewish leaders on our campus as Pope Francis blessed
the sculpture dedicated to Nostra Aetate and SJU’s longtime commitment
to Jewish-Catholic relations,” says Daniel Joyce, S.J. ’88 (B.A.), executive
director of mission programs. “Their fascination with Pope Francis and his
ministry is a point of pride for the Saint Joseph’s community.”

SJU Faculty: Scholarly Experts Heighten Students’ Learning Experiences
Saint Joseph’s supports its academic priorities in many ways, among them, hiring faculty whose scholarly expertise, industry experience and commitment
to student achievement bring depth and insight to student learning. Here are four examples.
Michael Angelina
Amy E. Ji, Ph.D.
Executive Director of the Academy of Risk
Management and Insurance
Assistant Professor of Accounting
A 30-year insurance industry veteran, Michael Angelina took the helm
of Saint Joseph’s Academy of Risk Management and Insurance (ARMI)
as executive director in 2012. His connections made through executive
positions in the industry — at Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd.,
Tillinghast-Towers Perrin and the Academy of Actuaries — help facilitate
his interactions with leading firms to prepare students in the University’s
risk management and insurance program for internships and employment
opportunities.
“We are distinguishing ourselves in insurance education,” says Angelina,
“and leading the way through our research, curriculum and student
outcomes.”
Angelina presented the results of his research pointing to the
underrepresentation of women working in the field at the Insurance
Industry Charitable Foundation’s 2015 Women in Insurance Conference
as well as other venues. He analyzed gender diversity analytics from more
than 100 insurance companies and has testified as an expert witness to
the U.S. Federal Court in landmark tax cases regarding the definition
of insurance for tax purposes, insurance risks and types of policies, and
captive insurance companies.
Cheryl George, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Special Education
Cheryl George joined the Saint Joseph’s faculty as an assistant professor
of special education in 2015, immediately becoming involved with the
Kinney Center for Autism Education and Support. For more than 10
years, she has been examining the effects of aerobic exercise on behavior,
academic responding, motor skills and sleep in children with Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD). George is looking for new ways teachers and
families can aid in the academic performance of children with disabilities
and manage their behaviors.
“I am thrilled to join the SJU family,” says George. “Saint Joseph’s
University, along with the Kinney Center, provides both opportunities and
resources for an expansion of my research, as well as allowing me the
privilege to teach undergraduate and graduate courses.”
This year, she mentored Summer Scholar Erin Ross ’17, a chemistry
major, as they researched the academic and social responses of children
with ASD who participated in various tasks before and after swimming
during Camp Kinney on campus. The pair plans to submit their research
for publication and have been accepted to present their findings at
upcoming conferences.
In addition to her research interests, George provides pre-service teachers
with practical experiences that increase their abilities to successfully educate
and support children with disabilities and their families.
Before Amy Ji became an assistant professor of accounting at Saint
Joseph’s in fall 2014, she gained professional work experience at firms
specializing in accounting, taxes, financial services and benefits. She uses
her corporate background to integrate an emphasis on critical decisionmaking into the courses she teaches in the accounting program, recently
ranked No. 10 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report (“Best
Colleges,” 2017).
“I want my students to be proficient in their fields,” says Ji, “and display
the highest standards of ethical conduct after they leave my class.”
Ji’s academic research on how the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission rule-making affects earnings timeliness was published in
the International Journal of Economics and Finance in 2015. She also
presented her studies on auditing and corporate finance and governance
at the American Accounting Association’s Mid-Atlantic Region Meeting in
2015 and 2016.
William Wolff, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Communication Studies
Bill Wolff brought his desire to explore the connections between
digital media technologies and writing to Hawk Hill in 2015 as
assistant professor of communication studies. He is also a mentor in the
Summer Scholars program and director of the Beautiful Social Research
Collaborative. Beautiful Social partners teams of students enrolled in a
communication studies course with nonprofit organizations to provide
consulting, training and original content for their social media platforms,
free of charge.
“At Beautiful Social, we believe students have the ingenuity and vision
to create positive social change for nonprofit organizations and their
clients in the Philadelphia area and beyond,” says Wolff.
A grant from the John Cardinal Foley Program for Media and Civic
Engagement supports the collaborative’s work, including stipends for paid
undergraduate Foley Fellows. The Fellows work closely with Beautiful
Social student teams, facilitate communication between teams and clients,
and help with community outreach efforts.
Wolff’s scholarly agenda attempts to answer the questions: How
are new media technologies changing what it means to communicate?
What are the implications of those changes for communications-related
fields? Building on his large-scale study of how Bruce Springsteen fans
communicate on Twitter, his current project considers how communities
dedicated to social change are using social media to enact that change. He
hopes to translate his findings into practical suggestions that nonprofits
can use to enhance their social media communications.

Men’s Basketball Team Wins Atlantic 10, Advances in
NCAA Tournament
The 2015-16 men’s basketball team posted a historic season, with an Atlantic 10 Championship and NCAA Tournament
invitation. Under the direction of Phil Martelli, head coach since 1995, the Hawks’ 28-8 record marked the second most
wins in program history.
The team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, where it was edged out by top-seeded Oregon.
Standout forward DeAndre´ Bembry, named the 2016 Player of the Year by both the A-10 and Philadelphia Big 5, was
selected 21st in the NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks. He is the sixth Hawk to be drafted in the first round, and the first
since 2004.
“This year, we had 15 guys who were better than anyone else’s 15 guys,” says Martelli, “and they won this championship
in the locker room, on the buses, in the hotels and in the way they conducted themselves on campus.”
The Big 5 named Martelli Coach of the Year for the fourth time, and, along with the A-10, chose forward
Isaiah Miles ’16 as the 2016 Most Improved Player.

Amateur Athletes of America) Championship.
Baseball Standout
Catcher Deon Stafford Jr. ’18 was recognized as a
Third Team All-American by Louisville Slugger and an
Honorable Mention All-American by Perfect Game/

performances in Saint Joseph’s baseball history, batting
.395 and setting new single season records with 85 hits
and 18 home runs.
Men’s Lacrosse Awards
The men’s lacrosse team captured its third consecutive
Northeast Conference (NEC) regular season title. Head

cross country, golf, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s track,
women’s lacrosse, women’s rowing and women’s track.
Additionally, Hawk athletes participated in more
than 2,500 hours of community service, including the
Thanksgiving Food Drive, the MLK Day of Service and
Hawks vs. Cancer.
Collective Accolades
Saint Joseph’s 2015-16 teams collectively posted

history. In addition to the conference titles won by men’s
basketball and men’s cross country, the baseball, softball,

Second Annual Day of Giving
Surpasses Goal
The Saint Joseph’s community came together in an unprecedented show
of support for the University’s second Day of Giving on November 17, 2015,
accounting for nearly $225,000 from 1,546 gifts. Surpassing its goal of 1,250
gifts, the Day of Giving effort was bolstered by personal outreach and timesensitive challenges that increased the impact of donations. Students hosted
daylong campus activities to engage the community.
“The Day of Giving was about an entire community coming together to
make a difference in the lives of our students,” says University Advancement
Vice President Marty Farrell ’88 (B.A.), ’98 (M.S.). “Thank you to the many
Hawks who generously contributed to our efforts. Together, we are touching
many lives.”
The third annual Day of Giving is slated for April 4, 2017.
With Deepest Gratitude
Saint Joseph’s University is honored to recognize the following
alumni and friends whose lifetime giving to the University has
reached or exceeded $1 million. Through the leadership and
support of these benefactors, Saint Joseph’s fully honors its Jesuit,
Catholic mission of educating young men and women to lead
lives with moral and social purpose. An electronic edition of the
Honor Roll of leadership donors will be forthcoming.

SJU Volunteers Impact World Meeting of Families
More than 700 SJU students, alumni, faculty, staff,
parents and friends registered to volunteer during the
World Meeting of Families (WMOF) and Pope Francis’s
visit to Philadelphia in September 2015. They served
in many roles, from answering the telephones in an
on-campus call center to staffing events on the Benjamin
Franklin Parkway. Philadelphia’s Jesuit University
claimed one of the WMOF’s largest contingents of
volunteers.
National Alumni Board member Maria Montero ’98 (B.A.), external affairs
manager at the Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority, served as a volunteer
captain. She also participated at the WMOF’s “Day of Service.”
“My role at the Convention Center made supporting the World Meeting
a natural fit,” she says. “Saint Joseph’s identified a great opportunity for our
community to be a part of history and welcome the world’s spiritual leader,
Pope Francis, in true Jesuit form.”

Bradley ’98 and Rossetti ’17
Alumni Aid Students in Career Pursuits
Like many undergraduates, Christina Rossetti, a senior psychology
major from Mount Laurel, New Jersey, first came to college without a
concrete idea of her career goal.
“I was interested in law and psychology,” says Rossetti, who’s been a
fixture on the dean’s list since arriving on Hawk Hill in 2013. Nearly four
years later, she has discerned her career goals.
“I’ve decided to pursue law school after graduation so I can tie my
passions for law and psychology into one career,” she says. “I hope to
represent the mentally ill in a legal setting.”
With a destination clearly in mind, Rossetti, a member of the
psychology and Spanish honor societies, was looking for a roadmap to
plot her route. She turned to SJU Connects, the Alumni Association’s
online career-advising platform, and sought the advice of National Alumni
Board member John M. Bradley ’98 (B.S.). A University of Pennsylvania
Law School lecturer, Bradley had worked as a business litigator and
nonprofit in-house counsel.
“Christina reached out to me about a path to law school and a career
as a lawyer,” says Bradley, who is preparing to launch a consultancy in
2017 focused on leadership training, board development and nonprofit

governance. “I really enjoyed the conversation. We discussed why she was
interested in a legal career and the various factors influencing law school
admission and success.”
Through a secure platform, advisors in SJU Connects engage students
and alumni in career conversations, resume critiques and mock interviews.
Since its 2015 launch, the platform has attracted 579 advisors and 611
advisees, with more than 190 connections already established.
“When I saw Professor Bradley’s accomplishments, I knew that he
would be the perfect person to talk with about my future,” Rossetti says.
“SJU Connects was a great way to have a personal conversation and ask
him questions about legal careers, law school and law school admission.
“I gained insight into what law schools look for in their applicants
and how to improve my chances of getting into schools like Penn,” she
continues. “After our conversation, I felt more equipped to handle the law
school application process and confident that my Saint Joseph’s education
will make for a relatively smooth transition into law school.”
