SFU is proud to announce the 8 students selected to serve as 2022 Orientation Directors. These talented students will lead a team of 40 student volunteer Orientation Counselors to provide a first-class onboarding experience when the Class of 2026 joins the Flash Fam in August. These volunteers sacrifice the final weeks of summer, at no compensation, in order to ensure that first-year students have an exceptional transition into University life.

The Center for Student Engagement at Saint Francis University has chosen the team of students who will lead the way for the Class of 2025 when they arrive on campus Thursday, August 12, 2021. Orientation Counselors play a pivotal role in providing a first-class experience for our new students and their families as they officially become part of our FlashFam. They are the first student organization that our incoming students are exposed to when they arrive on campus for move-in day. They set the example for what our incoming students can expect their experience to be like as a part of our community.

Throughout the first-year orientation program, the Orientation Directors are our student leaders who coordinate 40 other student volunteer Orientation Counselors in order to support the mission of our institution and provide a first-class experience for their new classmates.

Saint Francis University student, Damian Tobias, is this year's recipient of a $5,000 Father Tom Schaefer Scholarship from SAGE Scholars Educational Foundation. The SAGE Scholars Educational Foundation in 2019 pledged $1,000,000 in scholarship funds to further support SAGE Scholars' mission - making higher education more affordable. 2022 marks the fourth year of the annual Dr. James B. Johnston scholarship essay contest. This year hundreds of students shared their stories, preparing for college, visiting the campus, and making their final choices. Damian's essay stood out for the top scholarship prize of $5,000. He says, "Saint Francis University made a promise that they would honor my goals and career path in any way that they possibly could, even if it meant adapting the curriculum to be learned outside of the classroom. No other university seemed to value hands-on learning nearly as much as Saint Francis University, so it was clear that they were the perfect fit." Damian is a first-year student in the Shields School of Business.

On May 1, 2022, the Department of Physician Assistant Science at Saint Francis University held its annual White Coat Ceremony marking the end of the first year of training and transition into clinical education. The students recited and signed a modern version of the Hippocratic Oath, which reminded them of the vow to provide ethical, confidential, and compassionate care to the patient and not their illness, keeping the patient's best interest in mind. Students were presented with and donned their white lab coats to affirm their role as future health care providers.
