Saint Joseph’s: a Small College Renaissance #204

Saint Joseph’s College, located on the shores of Sebago Lake in Standish, is a small Catholic liberal arts school that is experiencing a renaissance. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in Portland in 1912, St. Joe’s has long been known for educating students in fields such as nursing, education and business. Lately, they have added a permaculture farm and are planning a hospitality center and multi-age educational living experience. Today we speak with college president Jim Dlugos, and farm manager Michial Russell, about the future of this forward-thinking institution.
