Anna Leighton
S.T.A.R. Executive Board Member

Currently a senior majoring in Secondary Education with a concentration in English, I am absolutely thrilled to be a new member of the S.T.A.R. team! Also a recent Kappa Delta Pi inductee, I am looking forward to meeting all the freshman and transfer students to the School of Education, showing them all St. John's has to offer. Even though I transferred only a semester ago, my transition was a smooth and enjoyable one. I hope all the new School of Education students will feel the same as they embark on their journey as future teachers. See you this fall!

I am currently a Junior with a double major in Adolescent Education with a Social Studies Concentration along with a second major in History and a Theology minor as well. I am very excited to be a new member of the S.T.A.R. Program. I have spent my time at St. Johns trying a little bit of everything from being a member of the Student Alumni Association to attending soccer games and most of the shows put on in the Little Theater. I spent my last fall semester abroad with St. Johns and am ready to have a great year back here with everybody.
