Josh Cappello

Josh’s goal is to become a college professor and teach Middle Eastern history. This will require that he obtain his Master’s and PhD degrees. Josh’s interest in teaching runs in the family as his father teaches U.S. History and his mother, a former teacher, now works with children with learning disabilities. Josh’s letter of recommendation describes him as a “survivor and warrior who has fought his cancer diagnosis and treatment. He is a sincere, thoughtful, emotionally hardy and tenacious young man.” Josh enjoys reading and basketball and being at home with his family. He is looking forward to returning to campus after a recent medical setback and taking advantage of all that college life has to offer. Josh is a three-time Susan Fund scholarship recipient.
