Orientation Directors
Samantha Bowkley
Hello! My name is Samantha Bowkley and I will be a senior at Saint Vincent College in the fall. This is my second year as an Orientation Director and I am so excited to be involved again in the program. I am majoring in Business Management with a minor in Marketing. I am currently involved in many things at Saint Vincent and enjoy my time here a lot. This is my third year as a prefect in the upper-classmen residence hall, Gerard, I also work in the Campus Life office during the week, and I was the Chairperson of the Activities Programming Board last year. I moved to the United States from Britain in 2000 with my father’s job and have been here ever since. I graduated from Greensburg Salem High School in 2006 and my family still lives in the area.
