John Boilegh remembers walking into Franciscan University in 1995 thinking he had three strikes against him: He was a local from the “rough steel town” of Steubenville, a non-traditional student at 25, and a commuter. Add to that his long hair, black leather motorcycle jacket, and interest in anthropology, what he called “a godless science at a Catholic university.” He’d been warned about the strong religious atmosphere on campus so as a non-Catholic, John expected he would not fit in. To his surprise he recalls, “I found just the opposite! I was really impressed with the ‘true Catholics.’ Everybody was really friendly, kind, and not judgmental.”John had a degree in natural resource management from another college when he took on an archaeology job with Professor Phil Fitzgibbons to excavate a local site.
