ST. 菲利普的大学 FALL 2018 NEW STUDENT CONVOCATION PROGRAM FEATURES SCHOLARSHIPS, FINANCIAL WISDOM, ALUMNI ENCOURAGEMENT

St. 菲利普的大学 alumnus Enrique Salinas inspired current students with a keynote address during the Fall 2018 新生大会 program Fall 2018 新生大会 program in the college's Watson Fine Arts Center at 马丁·路德·金大道1801号.

The event introduced students to college leadership, highlighted a bevy of college programs and services, motivated students to continue the transition to college life, and oriented students to the campus of the 120-year-old college. Incoming students found out that Salinas is more than a 2018 Texas State University graduate and the first alumnus to serve as a keynote for the program. Salinas is also a new employee in Student Success at the college who begins graduate studies at TSU this fall. 他分享了自己的大学经历.

曾经的共性. Philip’s 大学 shares with the largest colleges in the nation’s seventh largest city is the majority of students enrolling are experiencing one or two important firsts---first-time-in-college, first-family-member-in-college---or both. An intent of the convocation is to ensure students know their college is there for them at every step on their journey, and Salinas was a member of the 团队 explaining the pathway. 

Highlights of the convocation included a round of Family Feud hosted by the college's 金融知识服务 团队. Students learned who to consult to make sure they manage their money and pay for their college educations debt-free. They also learned how they can now receive new free online financial coaching from a certified financial coach.Financial excitement reached a high point during the awarding of $500 scholarships to three incoming students, 以及圣. 菲利普的大学 is the leading provider of scholarship funding among the 十大网赌正规网址官网区 member institutions.

Yvonne Benton is an advisor at the college who was a member of the 团队 for the event.

““Mr. Salinas’ presentation was well received, and the audience was lively during our scholarship awards,本顿说. “I think the students were excited to have the opportunity to win free money for college. 谁不想要免费的钱呢?本顿笑着说.
