Karen Condon, Program Graduate

“Starting a new adventure is fun, however going back to school after a 25-year hiatus was terrifying! From the minute I made the decision to return, I felt as if I had my own cheering section in each counselor and professor I encountered. St. Francis puts all the tools in place for you to succeed. The reinforcement and instruction I received from many of my professors aided in not only the learning experience, but in building confidence in myself.”
