“There’s no place like home,” a line from her favorite movie “The Wizard of Oz,” sums up Samantha Bazile’s deep connection to St. Thomas Aquinas College. She brings the perspective of an alumna — having earned a BS in Social Science at STAC — and more than 12 years of experience in admissions counseling and recruitment. In her second role as Chief Diversity Officer, Samantha co-chairs the Center for Social Justice (CSJ) led by STAC President Ken Daly. A little-known fact about Samantha? She was named after Samantha Evans, a character on the daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives.
Doris says the small class sizes and welcoming campus feel drove her decision to attend STAC. She says the college has exceeded her expectations.
As a communication arts major, she thinks she wants a career in the business side of the media industry. She’s also thinking about pursuing an MBA degree, so she declared minors in human resources and marketing.
“The networks and connections here are amazing," says Doris. "I’m awestruck.”
