“I trust my family and closest friends. There are some things I share and talk about with my family and there are some things I depend on my closest friends to help me get through.”

Melissa McConville

Melissa McConville, Math Teacher "Upon graduation from Saint Vincent College, I was awarded the President’s Award. The winner of this award was determined by the SVC college community -professors, faculty, staff and student body. This humbling and inspiring award had a big influence on my confidence as a student leaving college to find and make a place in the world. I can’t express how much it meant to me to receive this honor from so many people that believed in me and that I admired - teachers, mentors, and friends. I still feel such humility and pride as the winner of this award. I hope as a graduate and alumnus I have continued to bring pride to the Saint Vincent College community. "

Sharon Isherwood, French Teacher "When I was 26, my mother was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. From one day to the next, I moved back to Pittsburgh from Paris and helped care for her until her passing four years later. I have since lost my father to leukemia and have to say that I am still dealing with the loss of both of my parents. Thanks to time, friendships and the love and support of my husband, I try to focus more on the joys of life rather than the sorrows."

Brian Duermeyer

Brian Duermeyer, English teacher “We used to play our games in the backyard, and we had a variety of games that were made up… a homemade lacrosse game, a run-down with a ball, Home Run Derby...and my grandmothers would act as the officials, and they would sit on the porch and watch us. There were times they would disagree about a call, but they were such lovely and honest women that they would not even argue about it; they would politely reach a conclusion and we would hang on their conclusion, because we cared about them so much.”
