Careers in English
"Quite honestly, I think the liberal arts education was more important than any technical education (he received)," Vande Hei said of his days at CSB and SJU. "Some physics students have asked me, 'Of your education, what did you use the most?' I told them my English - my ability to communicate with people.

Lt. Col. Mark Vande Hei, NASA astronaut and 1989 SJU graduate in Physics
