WHY ARTERO CHOSE SANTA CLARA: “Santa Clara’s mission of educating the entire person really spoke to me. I’ve always believed that school is not only an academic process, but it is more so a growing process. College is where you expose yourself to new ideas and philosophies that you will carry with you throughout your life. Santa Clara is what I search for in a school. The school’s mission of leaving the world a better place reflects the same moral values and responsibility I believe in. I too have a mission to make a change in my community, to make it better, to make it more beneficial to all those I share it with. I feel that Santa Clara will give me the necessary tools and knowledge to do so.”
