President's Message

Welcome to Saint Joseph's College. While this visit is "virtual," we hope it will lead you to visit our campus in person. You will find here a friendly community and academic excellence in a magnificent setting on Sebago Lake. When you visit, I hope to have an opportunity to say "welcome" in person.

I truly enjoy getting to know our students and making sure the college serves their needs. Our faculty members are just as committed to students as I am, as their whole attitude is student-oriented. This is evidenced by their engaging with students in small classes, in relaxed conversations in the hall or office or dining hall, and in the world at large through service learning and field trips.

Together, engagement and knowledge can create extraordinary possibilities for you in your life on campus and beyond. I hope that you will join us at Saint Joseph's - on a journey that engages mind, body and spirit.

Sincerely,
E. Joseph Lee, Ph.D.
President
