      James Edwards ‘21, University of Virginia ’25

      More than just a formative educational experience, my time at Salesianum taught me how to be a curious learner, independent thinker, collaborative leader, and compassionate person. The comfortable space of a strong, but gentle brotherhood allowed me to explore my personal vulnerabilities and strengths without hesitation. Like so many who came before me, I will continue to lead my life as a Salesian Gentleman in the optimistic service of others.
