Career Development and Support
Full disclosure, I've worked here for several years, so I already believed in DeSales. But now that I'm a Bulldog parent, I really, truly BELIEVE in DeSales. The last few years I've watched my daughter absolutely thrive here as an undergrad. She's discovered her vocation, traveled the world, made wonderful friends, and grown into quite an amazing young woman. I couldn't be happier with her choice to become a Bulldog.
