Why are you proud to be a Peacock?

I am proud to be a peacock because SPC is like a second family to me.  St. Peter's College has given me a tremendous amount of opportunities to learn and grow as a person, and I absolutely love the diversity of the campus.  You really do get an education one student at a time!

Best SPC Memory

By far, my best SPC memory would have to be going to the Today Show on Columbus Day with my best friends, and meeting celebs!

Favorite Quote

“We learn from our yesterdays...to persevere through our todays...in order to change our tomorrows."

Best advice you could give to the freshman class

My advice to the freshman class is to GET INVOLVED! Take advantage of everything SPC has to offer.  Make lots of friends and memories, but be yourself.  Don't be afraid to take a step out of your comfort zone and try new things.  This experience is what you make of it...so make it a great one!
