Class Agents
What is a Class Agent?
Class Agents are the College's alumnae/i who give their time, efforts and resources to ensure that SJC continues to make an impact on current students and the greater community. Simply put: Class Agents are Very Important Alumnae/i Volunteers!
Each Class Agent has a special reason for volunteering. Some want to give back to the College that gave so much to them. Some want to help current students attain the same great education that Saint Joseph College provides. Some like to stay in touch with classmates. There are probably as many reasons to volunteer as there are alumnae/i of Saint Joseph College!
Whatever your reason, YOU are the key to the continued success of the College. The outstanding faculty, dedicated student body, beautiful campus - all of these benefit by the generous support of our alumnae/i volunteers and donors.
