In my free time I enjoy photography, hiking, and spending time with family/friends! On campus I am involved in Weekly Service, Apex, and CLC! I am super excited to welcome the class of 2025 to hawk hill and be part of your first week at SJU! I loved my experience with PSIP freshman year as it gave me a sense of community even before classes started! Being from northern NJ, I had never really been to Philly before so PSIP gave me the opportunity to explore the city that I would soon call home! This experience also sparked my passion for service and was a great introduction to the other amazing service organizations Saint Joes offers, like Apex and Weekly service. My favorite thing about PSIP is that it challenges you to get out our your comfort zone and fully immerse yourself within the community. I can’t wait to meet all of you and welcome you to your new home!

Class of 2025, Welcome to Hawk Hill! My name is Tyler Nice. I'm a junior business intelligence & analytics major with a minor in English. I'm from Syracuse, New York (annually crowned the snowiest city in America). On campus, I'm involved in APEX, Wellness Educators, and I'm an editor for The Hawk, the student newspaper here at SJU. I love to be active, whether it be lifting weights, hiking or playing pickup basketball with friends. My biggest fear is being stuck in an elevator (luckily it hasn’t happened yet, shoutout to the elevators on campus for pulling through.) As a PSIP participant, I loved how the daily service encouraged me to be my authentic self while also serving with and for others. I created a genuine connection with the people I served with. Before classes even started, I felt like I had a family on campus in my PSIP group and the PSIP community. The program made what I thought was going to be a difficult and chaotic transition to Joe's much more comfortable. I want all of you to experience the same thing. I cannot wait for you guys to experience what makes PSIP one-of-a-kind. It's truly something special. See you August 17th! Let's rock.

Hello PSIP 2021! My name is Ben Haas and I am a senior Accounting and Business Intelligence and Analytics double major from Fleetwood, PA. As a freshman, I remember coming into PSIP a little anxious and excited, not knowing what to expect. Throughout my experience and my three years at Saint Joe’s, however, I have found PSIP to be a great foundation to build upon. PSIP enabled me to develop great friendships and inspired me to continue searching for ways to serve with and for others. These ways include participating in Magis (a weekly service program), Back on my Feet weekly service, and the Winter Immersion Program to Los Angeles. From all of these enjoyable, diverse experiences, I have become more invested in my service and recognize it as a unique opportunity to learn more about the people you serve and the importance of developing a relationship with them. As PSIP has been a great experience for me, I can’t wait to see what it has in store for you.
