small steps... Great Strides

 

small steps ... Great Strides walks us through the visual
history of Saint Joseph's College from its origins as
Saint Joseph's Academy in 1912 through 1956 - when
the campus was moved to the shores of Sebago Lake -
to present day 2006.

Set against a backdrop of cultural images and music from
the five decades and using archival photographs and video,
interviews and reflections, small steps ...Great Strides
highlights the milestones of the College during this period
and the challenges faced - with "courage and hope" or Fortitudo
et Spes - by the Sisters of Mercy in the College's transformation.
