Hi! My name is Grace Walker, and I am so excited to be a part of Franciscan’s Admissions Team! As the 7th of 8 to attend Franciscan in my family, it has been a home away from home since I can remember! I was born and raised in a small town outside of Buffalo NY, so you can bet I love chicken wings and the Buffalo Bills!

I just graduated in May of 2026, with my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, with three minors in Writing, Legal Studies, and Human Life Studies. I was involved in music ministry for three years, including my semester studying in Gaming Austria! I joined Totus Tuus Maria household my freshman year and later served as an assistant coordinator my senior year. I was a part of the Center for Leadership Program, and enjoyed intramurals, mock trial, and other various clubs during my time here!

From the community, faculty, and the sacraments so present here at Franciscan, I’m truly grateful to this University for creating such an enriching environment that made it easy to love my faith and grow into more of who God is calling me to be! I’m so excited for you to begin your journey here at Franciscan so that you can live to the greatest potential that God is calling you to!
