Across her many achievements and deep involvement at St. Ambrose University, the "whys" that motivated Carly Miller share a common theme: a passion to advocate for others and to do good.
Many consider earning a degree in law and establishing a career with the United Nations as pinnacle professional achievements. But for Julia Adetoyese-Oyewusi those were just steps – granted, very big steps -- which led her to earn a Master of Social Work at St. Ambrose University.

Dr. Ella Johnson was welcomed to the Theology Department at SAU in August of 2018, teaching for both the undergraduate program and the Master of Pastoral Theology program, and this spring was promoted and granted tenure.
