Shelby Contomanolis ‘15

English secondary education major

"I attended St. Joseph's University because of the great reputation it has had in educating future teachers. The convenient location, small campus, and small classes is what really made it appealing to me. 

"After graduating with my BA in 2015, I stayed an additional year to complete my Master's in Special Education with an annotation in Severe and Multiple Disabilities. This is a great program which is offered as a five year program for students. I am currently working in a reputable school district as a Teaching Assistant and I love it! 

St. Joseph's University will become your second home. You will feel comfortable, encouraged, and inspired to be the best version of yourself. 

"Professor Margaret Moss of St. Joseph's University has made a huge impact on my life. She has taught me all I know about being a successful educator, and I could never thank her enough for the knowledge that she has shared with me over the years. 

"Receiving an A is not the only way to know that you have been successful in college. College is an invaluable experience that leads to reflecting as an individual, becoming aware of new perspectives, creating your own future, and developing into someone that you will always be proud of. 

"St. Joseph's University will become your second home. You will feel comfortable, encouraged, and inspired to be the best version of yourself. "
