Why Franciscan?
- I was searching for an authentically Catholic and in person counseling program. I wanted a program which would teach me to treat future clients as a body/soul composite not as separate entities. When I found the program here at Franciscan I was immediately excited, and having been a collegiate athlete in the PAC at Saint Vincent I knew that in addition to school I also wanted to be involved in the athletic program in any way possible, primarily in the sports nearest and dearest to my heart, cross country and track.
