Based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Jason Howell ’20 explains how he has been able to excel in his education over the past four years and how Albertus has made a significant impact on his college experience. He shares that his best Albertus memory is becoming President of the Student Government Association.
On his journey, Jason states, “I didn’t care much about education, it wasn’t until my senior year in high school that I knew that I needed one to be successful in my life. Through that journey, I was able to be on the Honor Roll every single marking period my last year of high school. And that is how I joined Albertus.” He also explains the legacy that he has left with Albertus commenting, “It provided me with the opportunity to become great.”
Jason is set to receive a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Religion in the Spring of 2020.
“Albertus gave me the chance they give every accepted student. They give you the chance to really be more. I no longer wanted to be the person behind, I was going to be in front… I am a first generation student, I am going to be the only one in my family with a B.A. To me, this means everything!”
Jason is one of our student featured interviews for the 2020 Senior Stories series, which focuses on students’ educational experience leading up to graduation and how they have been impacted by the Albertus Community, on and off campus.
