New Graduate’s Passions: St. John’s, Performing Arts, and Service
Even before attending her first class, Sheila Kiernan ’22CCPS felt like she found a second home at St. John’s University. “One of the reasons why I loved St. John’s was because giving back to the community is so much a part of its mission. I liked the location—but I really liked the feel of the Queens, NY, campus and the University.”
