In my role as Faculty Advisor and Campus Minister, I call upon my experiences of having worked with young people most of my professional life. As an ordained Deacon, a retired Dean of Students Emeritus from the University and a retired Officer of Marines, it is my good fortune to be able to play a role in grounding our students in the substance of what we believe, and why, as Catholic Christians. My wife of fifty-three years plays a huge role and is fondly referred to as "Miss Kay" by the students.
