"One of my theology professors taught me that your calling in life is where your desire, your gifts and the world’s hunger meet. This place has been a catalyst for building indispensable relationships and learning beautiful things: about myself and about what makes me come alive. I'll always be indebted to Immaculata for those priceless gifts. I think the spirit infusing this campus has a lot to do with the Sisters—they pray for us every day. There is an amazing history and a living charism that is tangible here, and it makes you feel like you’re a part of something."
