“There’s a lot of things that are different now from how they were when I was young. People, especially, they’re more fearful, less trusting. People used to be more trusting, we used to be able to play outside until dark, until dinner time, but you can’t do that anymore, you know? Parents don’t trust other parents; they don’t trust strangers as much. I mean, you always have to be careful, but people don’t trust people like they used to.  A handshake doesn’t mean the same thing.”

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. "
