Period three peer ministers recently presented

$535. Th e donation came from proceeds raised by

intern who accepted the check, also happens to be
a 2014 graduate of Th e Aquinas Institute. She is
currently a student at SUNY Brockport with a dual
major in Communication Studies and Spanish.
“It’s kind of surreal to come back [to Aquinas] in a
professional capacity,” said Kaysia. “For me to be able
to bring together this organization and the school
that’s part of my heart is amazing.”
