Investing in the success of Saint Paul College is both personally and professionally rewarding. 不幸的是, the gap between people who are financially comfortable and those who are living paycheck-to-paycheck is growing. Saint Paul College fills that gap by providing people opportunities and support to advance their skills and their ability to earn a living wage to provide for themselves and their families.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my role at Saint Paul College is participating in reviewing scholarship applications. 学习学生的故事和他们的SPC之旅是如此鼓舞人心. Among the students applications I’ve reviewed are: a single father of 8 children from Somalia trying to gain an education to better provide for his family; a young woman from China, 在这里独自一人, working at Whole Foods and trying to make a life for herself after having to leave her country and family behind because of their restrictive one-child policy; a young married Hmong couple who both graduated from Saint Paul Public Schools and are now at SPC studying to become a social worker and school counselor to better serve their community, 同时抚养一个两岁的孩子(和一对一岁的双胞胎)!) at home; and an African American single mother of 4 boys, who taught herself to read in her mid-30s by reading books to her child, 谁能从SPC毕业现在在Metro州立大学, 立志成为律师或社会工作者. 这些学生是我投资SPC的原因. 他们的人生故事, motivation and determination to make our world a better place should inspire us all. 正如Paul Wellstone所说，当我们都做得更好时，我们都会做得更好.
