 Mark Gaber '05, Washington, D.C.,
“The mentoring I received in classes and in leadership roles on campus paved the way for my selection as a national Harry S. Truman Scholar. My professors helped me land a job in Washington, D.C., as an environmental protection specialist for the U.S. Department of Transportation. And now, two full years after leaving campus, my St. Norbert professors played an important role in helping me gain admission to Stanford Law School. I will always be a part of the St. Norbert community, and that is a priceless benefit.” >>MORE
