Graduating year: 2025

Major/minor: General health sciences, healthcare management, biology

Campus involvement: President of the Honors Program, Men’s Ice Hockey

Career goal: Physician Assistant 

Favorite thing about Albertus: Small class sizes

As a student-athlete attending Albertus, I secured a position with Valley Orthopaedics Specialists’. I’ve been able to network at the College’s ice hockey games, where they are contracted to offer coverage, allowing me to learn while playing the sport I’m most passionate about. Through this opportunity, I’ve observed Dr. Darryl Whitney M.D. (Sports Medicine) and Jason Nobrega PA-C (Orthopaedics) during patient visits. I’ve had the pleasure to watch and learn about orthopaedic operations, diagnostic testing, and the various non-operative and surgical intervention therapy options. This experience will be beneficial for my upcoming courses at Albertus, as well as helping me get ready to apply to PA schools. I can’t thank Valley Orthopaedics Specialists enough for this opportunity! 

Andrew Vitiello

Graduating year: 2025

Major/minor: Accounting, minor in finance

Favorite thing about Albertus: The community

At Albertus, I am involved in the Honors Program and a writer for the Falcon Forum. I have been involved with both since my start here at Albertus. I have also been involved with the study abroad program that Albertus provides.

My career goal is to find a job that I find fulfilling and one that allows me to be able to help people that are in need. I want to be able to use the knowledge and insight that I have gained at Albertus and put it to good use for the community. 

My favorite thing about Albertus is the community. I love that this school allows me to create a relationship with peers and professors and that I am not just a number within the school. This opportunity has allowed me to enter into positions within the school and make a name for myself. Albertus has allowed an abundance of amazing opportunities for me to grow and understand who I am. I can say without a doubt that my time at Albertus has shaped me into a better person and has done the same for my peers around me.

During my time studying in Rome, I was able to expand my knowledge of different cultures I never thought I would be able to experience. This opportunity has helped me meet and work with great professors that I still stay in touch with. While abroad I was able to gain life long relationships with people I would have never met if I never decided to go. I feel my time abroad has helped me understand a lot about education and it also helped me find out a lot about myself. This will always be a great learning experience and a lifetime of memories!
