Student Testimonials

Sharlah-Mae Day

Engagement Staff

“I work as a student engagement activities team member. An event I enjoy working is Esports Game night because students are able to come together in the amazing Esports Lounge and compete in games they enjoy for a prize. An event I love attending is BINGO night; this event is incredibly popular among students, has superb prizes, and is very interactive and fun!”

Abigail O’Brien

Class president

“The minute I found out the SJC had a Student Government Board my freshman year, I immediately ran for class president. Being a leader is important to me because I get the opportunity to be a voice for the student body whether it be addressing issues or coming up with new ideas; I am grateful to be a leader to a community I love.”

Michael Wearne

Winter activities

“You can always find me skating on the lakes and ponds around campus, or skiing at Shawnee Peak with friends. I would encourage students to try and embrace the cold by taking part in the activities that Student Engagement sponsors, like weekly ski trips, snowshoe scavenger hunts, and weekly skate nights on Clark’s Court.”

Sophia Viger

Dance Team

“Once at Saint Joe’s I decided to step out of my comfort zone and join the dance team, even after having very little dance experience. I am happy to say that I am now one of the captains of the dance team and that would not have been possible if I didn’t try something new.”
