Graduatefinds schooling at Harvard,credits Cabrinifor education

No matter what those supermarket-line tabloids say, the world is not ending.

When faced with 1,200 pages of sevenday reading material and 20 to 25 hours of weekly schoolwork, however, most students would say it might as well.

Kevin Eppler, a 1998 graduate of Cabrini and new addition to Harvard University, not only swims in such demands, but he also manages to sneak in free time with friends, for visits to the theater and for hanging out at local jazz and blues clubs.

Oh yeah, he also writes music and performs in his spare time, as well as enjoying Cambridge, Mass., home of Harvard, which be describes as a "thriving metropo- lis that mixes European fashion and style with independent American Puritanism."

Thriving is one thing Eppler is doing.

Inspired and awed by the applauseprompting presentations of the professors and motivated by the possibilities for the future, he admits that though the school is "challenging and demanding," it all seems bearable when he "thinks where I am and the subsequent possibilities that will be extended to me because of it."

Despite stress and pressure that rivals the Mariana trench, Eppler is excited to be at Harvard.

He says that there is always a new face to find and befriend, without searching among the 20,000 students who decorate the campus.

Luckily for Eppler, the rivalry is not so savage in his religious programs at the Divinity school.

Original plans of a Ph.D. after graduating in two years with a Master of Theological Studies, acquiring a doctoral degree in American Religion followed by university level teaching, Eppler is pondering the possibilities of taking time off between degrees.

He confesses an interest in travel and service work, areas he was introduced to at Cabrini, and has thoughts of teaching part time at a college.
