On August 26, Saint Peter’s proudly welcomed the Class of 2028, ushering in a new era for the University. This day marked a significant milestone, not only for the new Peacocks, but also for Hubert Benitez, D.D.S., Ph.D., as he presided over his first move-in day as the University’s new president.
Throughout a series of dynamic orientation sessions in July and August, Dr. Benitez conveyed his enthusiasm for this incoming class, expressing deep gratitude to the parents and families for entrusting Saint Peter’s with their sons’ and daughters’ education and future.
“I am new, just as you are, to Saint Peter’s,” Dr. Benitez shared. “But today is not about me, it has everything to do with all of you. We are unwavering in our commitment to making everyone feel at home here, and we look forward to supporting each of you on your journey.”
The Office of Residence Life provided a smooth transition for the Class of 2028, offering not only support with move-in, but also a warm introduction to the Peacock family.
This year’s incoming students, including both freshmen and transfer students, are already leaving a mark. Hailing from 20 different countries and 23 states, they bring diverse perspectives and ambitions to Saint Peter’s campus. Among the most popular majors this year are nursing, business, biology and psychology, reflecting the wide array of academic interests and talents within this remarkable class.
