A LEGACY

Resilience personified

June 2022 marked the retirement of Sister Carol Jean Vale, SSJ, Ph.D., the longest-serving college president in the Philadelphia area. For 30 years, she led our institution with thoughtfulness, grace and a resilience that eclipses traditional definition.

This is her story.
