SISTER VIRGINIA JOY COTTER, SV ’03
Sister Virginia Joy Cotter, SV ’03, says she chose to major in business administration at Franciscan University because it was a broad field that allowed her to explore many possibilities after graduation. She was particularly drawn to work in education after doing mission work with troubled teens.
A member of the Sisters of Life and director of the Respect Life Office for the Archdiocese of New York, Sister Virginia Joy has helped develop and implement a curriculum that honors life by joining original research, resources from other dioceses, and her order’s charism to counteract society’s culture of death.
“We know the destructive power our culture and the media have on young people and the crucial need to give them truth, beauty, and goodness,” she says.
