"The environment that staff and students create at SEAS is really one of a kind. They truly do create a unique definition of family and provide a family for students who may not have the best. Without the sense of community at SEAS, I don’t know where I would be today. I hope that going forward as I pursue a career in physical therapy I can create a community for the people I work with so they can feel like they belong because everyone deserves a place of belonging. As I prepare to head off to college in August, I think back fondly on my days at SEAS. I pray that my days at St. Catherine’s University will model the same culture. Without SEAS and my family I would not have turned into the kindhearted, caring, compassionate person I am today nor would I have been able to develop the relationship I have today with the Lord." -Ella Kelly
