Carrie L. Morgan-Davis, C'96
I chose Saint Vincent when my dad, also an alumnus, took my family to training camp the summer before 10th grade. The beautiful campus felt like home, a feeling I still get when I visit. My time at Saint Vincent was an opportunity for me to truly become a leader through the activities and classes that I took. My activities continue to benefit me to this day in my current job in my hometown high school. I never hesitate to recommend Saint Vincent to future students. The graduates are truly a part of a family, an advantage not found at many other institutes of higher learning.
