Championing Sattler’s Fully-Funded Model

… Refer a Student – Get a Sattler Pennant!

• Your referrals are invaluable—most of our students first hear about Sattler through personal recommendations. If you know someone who would thrive here, refer them or, better yet, benevolently nudge them to start an application!
• As a token of appreciation, we’ll mail you an exclusive Sattler College pennant flag—because institutional pride is best displayed with flair.

Celebrating 50 Years of Dr. Kuruvilla

• We had the joy of celebrating Dr. Kuruvilla’s half-century milestone, honoring his visionary leadership. The event was made even more special with heartfelt tributes and the presence of his parents, who shared cherished stories from his childhood.

Dr. Jose Florez Visits Sattler

• A visitor recently told me that Sattler is “punching above its weight class.” I think that’s a fitting description!
• Recently, the Pre-Health Club hosted Dr. Jose Florez, Physician-in-Chief and Chair of the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. It was an incredible opportunity for our students and faculty.

Quote Bank Challenge

• Did you know one of our alumni created a Sattler Quote Bank? It’s filled with memorable moments from our staff, faculty, students, and alumni. Each month, we’ll award Sattler merchandise to the first three people who correctly guess the origin of a featured quote!
