"The St. Joseph's University history department had a significant impact on my life and helped me reach my goals through various opportunities. I was fascinated with the vast amount of knowledge my professors offered during all of the classes I took. I was also given various opportunities to expand on my research and share my findings in symposiums and conferences. It was a great learning experience and helped me earn valuable skills needed for my career as a teacher."
