"Saint Vincent was a big part of my childhood. I took swimming lessons here, visited events on campus, my dad even made me a bed out of wood from a Saint Vincent tree. I never thought it would be in my future; however, Saint Vincent is the only school I applied to and I couldn't imagine my life without the wonderful community people I am surrounded by every day."

Saint Vincent College provides an environment that makes me excel in all aspects of my life, not just academically. The people here inspire me to be a better me because of their positive energy, as well as the kindness everyone on campus exudes. The professors help me to excel beyond my expectations. In addition, we have the technology and materials that help me to be more creative and explore different mediums. I am so thankful that I chose to go to SVC. The school embodies the same things I do: faith, people, academics and kindness.Class of 2018

During my senior year of high school I felt that the primary need that had to be addressed in my college decision was furthering my cross country and track career. The proud tradition of the Saint Vincent team and the personal characters of the coaches and runners were primary factors in my decision. However, life does not always go as planned. Injuries and other factors have prevented my collegiate running career from reaching the potential I hoped for in high school. I am not bitter about this because I am fortunate to have found a home in SVC despite my decision being made on a program I am no longer a part of. The student body is warm and embracing. The faculty is passionate and cares about the individual achievement of the students. The culture of SVC is unlike anything I have ever experienced, and I am grateful for all of the relationships that I have developed in my time here.

Studying abroad has taught me to appreciate the world that I live in. The world is so big, and we have the opportunity to dwell, enjoy, and explore everything it has to offer us. I have been blessed to have the opportunity to study abroad twice as a student of Saint Vincent College. Through both of my international traveling experiences (Mexico and Iceland) I have been blessed to gaze upon some of the beautiful wonders that God has placed in the world. I will be forever grateful to the people who helped and encouraged me to study aboard. Life is too short to limit ourselves, we deserve to be happy.
I'm Russell Clark, a communication major, class of 2019. I’m actively involved in the Bearcat B.E.S.T. program. I got involved in the program by chance fall semester when I was looking for a work-study position. I work with the Bearcats every day and it is one the most rewarding and greatest things I have ever done in life. I am a job coach Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday I am a teaching aide. One of the greatest joys I get from working with the Bearcat B.E.S.T students is funny stories and things they share with me. They always find a way to make me smile.

“As a little girl, I would attend Steelers Training Camp every summer with my family. It became a family tradition that I looked forward to as July transitioned to August. My family would ask me if I could see myself attending Saint Vincent College to pursue an education someday, and I had not given it much thought until it was time to make a game-time decision. I have always been a city girl at heart, but visited a number of large state institutions and smaller private colleges. The last school I decided to visit was Saint Vincent, and I knew in my heart that the search for a school was over. Well, that ‘someday’ turned into today, where I have never questioned that game-time decision. If somebody had told that little girl that she would attend Saint Vincent when she grew up, she probably would not have believed it ... and now she could not be happier to be a Bearcat.”

“I have three passions in life; spikeball, Walt Disney World and making people smile! What I love about Saint Vincent is that it has helped me grow these passions on a day-to-day basis. I never heard of spikeball until I came here; I am now the club president and host tournaments every semester! My dream job is to work for Walt Disney World on their PR team. SVC has set me on the right path to make my dream a reality. I love putting a smile on every person’s face that I talk to. It makes me feel better about myself when I can make others smile. Thanks SVC for making it easy for me!”
