Any ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use must be fully acknowledged, unless the information is common knowledge.” – Indiana University School of Education

Angelo V. Pashos '03 Reference Room
Our Reference & Research Room is dedicated in memory of Angelo V. Pashos '03, an intelligent young man who was extremely passionate about life. Tragically, at the age of twenty-one, a drunk driver took his life. His memory shall be eternal through this room where Saint John’s students can follow the path that Angelo desired. He shall live forever in our hearts.
