Here’s another Great Starts spotlight from the Class of 2026:

🍎 Meet Megan Salentine

Megan has accepted a position as a second grade teacher at Saint Maria Goretti Catholic School in Madison, where she’ll help inspire and shape the next generation of learners.

During her time at SNC, Megan found a strong sense of community and support from professors who truly cared about her success, helping prepare her to make a meaningful impact in the classroom.

Congratulations, Megan! Your future students are lucky to have you 💚💛

...

When longtime professor and priest Fr. James “Seamus” Neilson met his namesake, graduating senior Shamus McMahon ‘26, it was a powerful reminder of what makes St. Norbert College so special – this is a community that shows up for each other, across generations.

Shamus wasn’t sure he could afford to attend – or if he had chosen the right career path once he arrived. But thanks to the generosity of the St. Norbert community, he received scholarship support to come to SNC, found encouragement to explore from his peers and mentors, and discovered his calling to serve the common good. 

"Because of you, I found my path," Shamus says.

Now, with newfound confidence, he plans to join the Air Force Reserves and attend law school.

Your support helps students like Shamus turn uncertainty into purpose. Be part of their story:
