Matt Kaufman
Hi! My name is Matt Kaufman, and I want to welcome all of you as incoming freshman into the Saint Vincent College community. As a junior from Upper St. Clair, Pittsburgh, PA, with a major in Psychology and Theology, I have come to find Saint Vincent College as my home away from home, and hope that you will enjoy yourselves here as well. I am involved in many on campus activities such as both academic and nonacademic clubs, and have been active in many off campus activities as well. I love music, and play guitar, drums, and piano. Sports are something that I greatly enjoy as well. I have found much pleasure in Intramurals as well as Collegiate sports, being a past member of the SVC Cross Country and Track team. A few hobbies of mine are traveling, art, writing music, lifting, snowboarding, and hanging with friends and family. I have greatly appreciated the Benedictine hospitality shown here at this college, and I know that you will come to appreciate and love the environment here as I have. Saint Vincent College truly has the ability to make each and every student shine. I, along with the rest of my team, am greatly looking forward to meeting each of you and am here for whatever you may need. I wish you all the very best for your new year here at Saint Vincent College. See y’uns round n’at!
