BE BLESSED BY THE ABBEY
The very nature of the liberal arts education has made me a better-rounded person by strengthening my communication skills and fostering exploration of subjects outside my major. As I start my new job at a library headquarters, I will bring with me everything I have learned from both my classes and my friendships, and I could not be more grateful for the blessing of my years at the Abbey.
