I am interested in joining the Institute to help develop AMU students to become future leaders and experts in our country. By providing an incubator for students to grow their personal and professional skillset under the mantle of Our Lady's protection, they will be prepared to enter the world to engage the challenges of secular society. By developing our top students, we will help to develop influential leaders with a foundation grounded in the moral teachings of the Catholic Church.
