“I came to Alvernia because of the faculty, staff, resources, and commitment to student engagement. I participated in various clubs - Circle K, Alvernia Disciple Makers, and Alvernia Student Nurse Association. I was also a tutor, study group leader, and peer mentor. Alvernia took me from being an ordinary high school student to a leader in college.”
