Kathleen McKain, assistant professor of foreign languages and
faculty president.
Eager to take on personal and professional challenges, Saint
Martin’s graduates are successful in their careers, their commu-
nities and beyond. Within a year of graduation, 97 percent of
Saint Martin’s alumni report finding work related to their field
of study or admission to graduate school. In a typical year, 100
percent of engineering and accounting majors are hired upon
graduation. The College of Education boasts a 95 percent
teacher placement rate, the highest in Washington state.
As the only Catholic Benedictine university west of the
Rockies, Saint Martin’s has been challenging its students’ intel-

est addition to the University’s residential village, and a 20,000-
square-foot academic center opened in the fall of 2008. A new
track and soccer field is nearing completion, and construction has
begun on a student recreation center, featuring basketball courts,
indoor track, cardio-fitness facility and dance studio.
