Graduation is a time for reflection and celebration. It is an opportunity for you to pause, to take a moment to look back on what has transpired in your life since you entered St. Joseph's. In doing this, you will be measuring yourself against what you were, identifying the ways you have gained confidence, independence, and knowledge. You will also, no doubt, think of those who helped you reach your goal — your family, friends, and teachers.
It won't take much reflection to recall the tremendous amount of time and energy you have devoted to earning your bachelor's degree. You have worked hard and you have sacrificed, and for this you have reason to celebrate.
As I have done in the past, I would like to extend a special thanks to Daniel Beni and Christina Gryziec who, together, have worked tirelessly to make the 1988 ACHIEVEMENTS our best yearbook ever.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Travis, Dean Division of General Studies

RECOLLECTIONS
By Ernest F. Jackson The Class of 1988
Returning to school at age forty has been an exceptionally wonderful learning experience. I am extremely grateful for the guidance which was given to me and the caring and sharing by the faculty, staff, and my fellow students at Saint Joseph's College.
As I reflect back over my life, what comes to mind is that twenty-six years ago my goals and aspirations were to get married and raise a family. Our first born was a son, and later we had two daughters. These children were gifts from God, and I told Vernell how happy we were.
Now, in June 1988, twenty-six years later I'm overwhelmed with joy because my son and I are completing our college education together. As I make this transition, Vm very happy but yet somewhat sad - happy to go forth and experience the new- found freedom, and sad that I am leaving the many friends I have made over the years. We have shared many joys with one another.
IT'S GRADUATION TIME
By Jean Christiani The Class of 1988
As I look forward to graduation, I also look back at the first year I started out at Saint Joseph's College with a feeling of great pride and joy. Saint Joseph's College offered a Bachelor of Science in Health Administration and Community Health. I chose to major in Community Health which I found very rewarding and beneficial.
All my professors were wonderful, and I gained a great deal of knowledge and experience during these past years. I also made some new friends.
To all my professors, I say thank you. It was a pleasure being here. I hope to see everyone at the graduation ceremony in June.
To all remaining students, I say Good Luck. Keep working hard and "Hang In There."

EDUCATION
By Mary C. Gonzales The Class of 1988
"I'll never go to school again!" I uttered these words on numerous occasions after I graduated from nursing school. The conviction with which I made this statement was rivaled only by Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind when she so emphatically said, "I'll never go hungry again!" Well, here I am graduating from Saint loseph's College and still finding it hard to believe.
On those frigid Saturday mornings when I walked into class, I asked myself, "What am I doing here?" or "Why am I doing this to myself?" But, luckily, I always found the answer to my questions. At the conclusion of each course, my efforts were rewarded with a feeling of accomplishment.
I am grateful to my instructors for their wisdom and understanding, and I will always remember the friends that I made at Saint Joseph's. At times it was difficult to juggle the demands of school, a job, and my personal life. On graduation day I will accept my diploma with the realization that it was well worth the struggle.

MEMORIES
By Wanda Rodriguez Santiago The Class of 1988
I treasure the wonderful memories of Saint Joseph 's College, my second home. Here, I was encouraged to be myself and not to conform. This helped to increase my self-esteem and to carry these feelings to other aspects of my life.
Saint Joseph's College is a school that stands alone. It is unique in its ability to serve the working adult. Through its flexible schedules, students are enabled to juggle school, career, and personal life successfully.
I want to thank all of the professors who shared their wisdom and knowledge with me. They are a rare breed of educators with genuine concern for their students.

GRADUATION THOUGHTS
By Janet Reynolds The Class of 1988
Graduation is finally here for me and I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every day at Saint Joseph's College.
Continuing my education was an important issue for me, but the school that I chose had to be interested in me as a student and as a health professional.
Here at Saint Joseph's I found both. The faculty was warm, sincere, and always willing to assist me with my concerns. This has encouraged me to further my education so that I may share my new knowledge and encourage other students with their goals and dreams.
SAINT JOSEPH'S KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
