Why Give? Fulfill our Mission as a Catholic Liberal Arts College Why Give? l High standards are expensive l The College has grown and expanded We have a very broad and encompassing mission. Unlike some academic institutions that are able to focus on one or two specific areas of education, Saint Joseph's College is a liberal arts college that “…nurtures the intellectual, spiritual and social growth in students of all ages and all faiths within a values-centered environment.” The bottom line is that our work is expensive! We don’t just provide classes for students to take – we nurture, support, and challenge our students’ academically, spiritually and socially. This provides an environment for them to succeed in all aspects of their education and lives.
Barbara (Pindar) Smith ‘53 Saint Joseph's College helped set the course of her life. Mrs. Smith attended the College from 1949 to 1953, just before it moved to the Standish campus. It was known then as the College of Our Lady Mercy. Mrs. Smith remembers the value and importance of moral and ethical principles. She also remembers receiving an excellent education with individual attention from faculty and staff, and forming strong friendships with the students. “The moral and ethical principles instilled by my parents were certainly strengthened at the College. A fine education and a recommendation from the Dean to a recruiter enabled me to start the climb to the top of my field at the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington, D.C. And above all, Saint Joseph's provided lifelong friendships.” As an alumna, Mrs. Smith feels she has a responsibility to support the
College that helped set the course of her life. “I believe it is
my responsibility to contribute to Saint Joseph’s to the best of
my ability in the hope that such support will enable the College to continue
to grow and provide assistance to current and future students.”
