for what has now become their alma mater. “I’m a Pharmacy major
graduating after six years,” said Stephanie Epstein ’10P. “I feel
great. It’s a huge milestone and I am really proud of myself and my
class. I’m happy that I chose a Catholic university. I went to a
Catholic high school, so it was a great way for me to further my
education and remain in a Catholic institution.”
“I’m so proud of all my friends who’ve graduated with me and I’m
ecstatic that my family is here,” agreed Katrina Curato ’10C. “I
a
m now a
proud alumna of St. John’s and I will be coming back next year for
my Master’s in Experimental Psychology.”
