A Sense of Community
“I chose St. Kate's because I wanted to go to a women’s college,” says Cassie. “I visited the Twin Cities area and really liked what I saw. And once I got to school I discovered that St. Kate's had a really open atmosphere. My parents liked it because it was less expensive than going to the in-state school in Montana.” |
A May 2002 graduate from St. Kate's, Cassie will begin law school in the fall. She has no hesitation about recommending St. Kate's: “It’s a very supportive school. And it encourages leadership. The campus is beautiful, and the faculty take a real interest in what they do. It’s a fun place as well, but also a place where [students] take learning very seriously.”
Cassie lived on campus with her husband and young son in the Alberta Apartments, on the floor reserved for student parents. “There was a wonderful sense of community there,” she said. “We gave each other support and often baby-sat each other's children.”
While majoring in English and journalism, Cassie worked in the communications office and also found time for extracurricular activities. She was a member of the swim team for three years, a campus ministry volunteer and a member of Lambda Sigma Tau, a social/service sorority.
