What made you choose Bellarmine for your college education?

As a recently discharged disabled Navy veteran, I was awarded an opportunity to attend any college or university under the Chapter 31 Vocational Rehabilitation Program. I wanted to attend the best academic school the region offered. A low teacher to student ratio was equally important. After considerable research and inquires (including several discussions with Dr. Bob Korn), Bellarmine came out on top by far. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Employers know that hiring a Bellarmine graduate means they're getting intelligent, well rounded, and dedicated individuals with serious critical thinking skills.

Bellarmine has the reputation of being one of the best academic schools around.

That gives Bellarmine graduates a leg up over their competition.

 

What was your favorite part of your Bellarmine experience?

I enjoyed the intellectual stimulation that was encouraged by my teachers and the relationships I developed with them which still continues.

 

What advice do you have for current students?

Soak up every moment of your time at Bellarmine. Remember that your teachers are also an invaluable resource in planning your future, as are the alumni.
