"I was struck by the way graduates and employees of Saint Michael's College speak of the authentic community of this college," Ms. Jones-Weinstock said. "I'm happy to be part of this strong community." Saint Michael's is in the middle of vital educational work [for social justice] teaching students to pay attention to what truly matters," she said.

"Today's world needs students more than ever coming out of a strong values tradition, who are asking spiritual and moral questions," she said. "I don't know how we'll solve the pressing problems in the world today without such students."
