In my four years in Berkeley, I was blessed to participate in the activities at the Center, where I received formation that balanced by on-campus education with philosophical principles and moral truths that guide both individuals and society. I formed lifelong friendships with other women wanting to expand their knowledge while deepening their faith. In a nutshell, the center provided the food my soul needed to make my college experience whole."
