helped me get a
National Student Defense Loan, which was
extremely important.
“Once I got there, I saw how the faculty
dedicated themselves to the students. I’d go
to class in the morning, work in the
afternoon, then come back at night to study,
and the Marianist Brothers would still be
there. Their dedication was unbelievable.
And the lessons they taught us had as much
to do with values and commitment as they
did with the courses we were studying.
“To this day, the faculty at St. Mary’s
reach out to students who wouldn’t
otherwise have the opportunity to go to a
first-rate university. They work to find
financial aid for students. They give their
students the tools to succeed. As a result,
their students graduate. And their minority
students graduate at three times the rate of
minority students at other universities.
“More importantly, that degree from St.
Mary’s is extremely valuable out in the ‘real’
world. Because we know when we hire a St.
Mary’s graduate, we’re getting a ‘two-fer’:
intelligence and values. And in the business
community that combination is a highly
sought-after commodity.”

The college was originally to be a satellite cam-
pus for one of the district’s other three colleges.
But a recommendation from Chancellor Robert
Ramsay in April 1995 prompted the board to build
a separate college.
Northwest Vista will eventually house a Career

Claunch said the design of the buildings will fit
with the design of the curriculum.
“We will try to design programs and technology
around the design of the buildings and computer
labs,” she said. “The school will be high tech but
not sacrifice the human element.”
