Students Find Their Fit on a Small Campus

Shacty was nervous about the college process but then she found College of Saint Mary.

“I was looking for that small environment where I can get close to my teachers and the students around me,” she said. “I was scared, but I quickly felt welcomed and had a sense of belonging at CSM.”

Enrolled as a business major, theology also was important to Shacty. “I took Dr. Emily Kahm’s Intro to Christianity class,” she said. “I liked her teaching style, and she demonstrated that she cared for students in teaching theology to be inclusive.”

Dr. Kahm encouraged Shacty to double major, and she added theology to her curriculum.
