I’m Jackie Armenta, a senior undergraduate studying psychology and education here at Western Illinois University. I grew up Catholic my whole life, I come from a very religious household and understand the importance of building a closer relationship with your Catholic faith.  Since my freshman year, the St. Francis Newman Center has helped me tremendously with growing my faith, meeting new people, and understanding the importance of kindness and charity. Through my role as Vice President, I want to make certain that all are welcomed (community members and students) at the center so that our community can grow and support one another. I hope through my role to help others learn about our various volunteer opportunities, religious engagement, and social events.
