Hear it from a Saint
“I ended up thriving at Saint Martin’s. It was due to the environment and there was a lot of opportunity for leadership. With a group of students, we started the Black Student Union, and then I got into ASSMU (Associated Students of Saint Martin’s University), eventually became student body president my junior year and was re-elected senior year. A lot of students were really active to make our experience great, and when I came down to Los Angeles, I still had that same spirit and energy of being proactive—to make it what I wanted it to be. There was a lot of ora et labora (prayer and work) in Los Angeles.”
