There's been quite a bit of work done on the cognitive side, but few people have looked at the emotional aspect. Schner came to Campion in 1981 and has been president since 1986. The college has grown considerably since then, a situation for which Schner credits the entire administrative staff and faculty, especially dean Ken McGovern and executive director Fred Marcia. In fact, it was just the opposite. I attribute that to a couple of things.

Also, our association with the Catholic school system helps us very much. Many of our students have gone through that system and we see ourselves as a continuation of that. We try to provide an education for young people of all faiths - although it's older people, too, because of the changing face of the student body. Schner is gratified that Campion has not only grown in numbers but has maintained and upgraded its facility to keep pace with logistical and technological demands, most recently with renovations to the foyer and third floor. In the '80s, they liked to hang around the cafeteria and music room, playing cards and other games because they had time for recreation.
