Faculty have been very helpful. You can email, call, or communicate face-to-face online. They’re good at understanding and at cheerleading. They realize it’s tough, and we have lives outside of school. They’re very encouraging.

My Saint Leo instructors and academic advisor, whom I never met in person, gave me strength, encouragement and warmth through that struggling period of my life. I will never forget how much they’ve helped me.

How Do Saint Leo’s Faculty Make an Impact? Hear from Our Community.
Saint Leo University has truly been a stepping stone for me. When I entered this university 4 years ago, I was unaware of what I’d be like when I left. Now, 3 weeks away from graduating, I am so thankful that I was a student here. Your time at Saint Leo University is what you make of it, and Saint Leo students are provided with so much opportunity to succeed.
