Fulbright Fellow Steven Werlin (A85) studied German and Heidegger, not Haitian Creole and microfinance. He credits St. John’s for honing his thinking and writing skills as well as connections leading to his life’s work—alleviating poverty through the nonprofit Fonkoze.
Because of what the science program at St. John's College meant to Kevin Parker (A79), he made a donation in support of it.
Eli Castro (SF94) and Tracy Locke Castro (SF95) created a life and a legacy from their pursuit of knowledge of the Great Books at St. John’s College.
Avi Kumar (A21) is one of the lucky ones. He always knew his life path, and that knowledge—illuminated by a St. John’s education—gave him the clarity, persistence, and skills to be accepted at Stanford Law School. Kumar says he owes his collegiate and professional success to the “intensive education” he received at St. John’s College. “You really can do anything with this degree,” he adds.
