From the Desk of the Director
At Christendom College, we are preparing the next generation of Catholic leaders who are learning the Truth, living the Faith, and thriving as Catholics. For those unable to travel to campus at this time, we highly encourage you to make a virtual visit and to come to a better understanding about the unique nature of a Christendom College education.
If you’re not able to meet with me in person, please consider signing up for a virtual meeting with me. During that meeting, we can discuss important aspects of the college search process such as:
- Differences between various Catholic colleges
- Affording a Catholic education
- Alumni successes in varied career fields
- How to find the perfect college for you
- And much more
Sign up below to schedule your virtual meeting, or feel free to give me a call at 540-551-9185.
God bless,
