Ancilla College Student Goes Above and Beyond!

9 months ago

Because Ancilla College is sponsored by the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, the values set by the college align with those of the sisters. On the Ancilla College website it states, “Ancilla College embraces the core values of the PHJCs — Openness to the Spirit, Community, Simplicity, and Dignity and Respect for all — and […]

“I was a poor student in high school, low grades and not much motivation to make them better. Ancilla was one of the only colleges to accept my application. There, I learned a lot about myself and what I wanted to become. I gained motivation and determination and ended up being the treasurer for Phi Theta Kappa. I graduated Cum Laude. The college itself was a stepping stone for me. The small classes helped me learn, and the professors themselves were very personal and helpful.”

Jared Leamon. '07, network technician for the West Noble School Corp. in Ligonier, Ind.

"I choose Ancilla because they are committed to providing you an education for the most reasonable price imaginable. Ancilla is committed to seeing you succeed, and offers so many ways to get started. Funding is available to help through scholarships and grants. Ancilla wants you to succeed for the betterment of yourself and your community. For decades their heart and motivations are consistently in the right place. This is, in part, why the school's future keeps getting brighter and brighter."

Bruce Johnson, '83, now works for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) near Washington D.C.

“The smaller class sizes gave me more individual attention. One teacher discovered that I was an auditory learner. A bigger school would have never caught that. For some of my nursing exams they let me test in a quiet, separate room.”

Mary Weldon ’06, now a Registered Nurse Case Manager for the Center for Hospice in Plymouth, IN
