A 2025 graduate of John Carroll Catholic High School, Will will attend University of Notre Dame. He says he ultimately chose Notre Dame "because of the community and culture on campus. I am very excited to be part of the brotherhood that the residence halls foster. Notre Dame also has a clear mission of bettering the world that materializes in every space on campus. "
At Notre Dame, Will will major in Architecture. After graduation, he plans to "earn an architect license and open my own firm."
We asked Will:
Why did you chose to attend a Catholic college/university?
I chose a Catholic university because I believe that having a set of beliefs to ground the university is important. All decisions made concerning education and community are rooted in Catholic tradition, with a focus on helping those around us.
What aspect of your college/university are you most excited about?
I am most excited to meet new people. Notre Dame is very far from where I live, so I only know a few people in South Bend. The new environment will bring new experiences.
What advice would you share with soon-to-be high school seniors as they begin their senior year?
Start as early as possible and do not stress. It will all work out, and you will go where you are meant to be.
What is one fun fact about you?
I can juggle.
