Guest Speaker – Sammy Violante

Sought-after inspirational speaker Sammy Violante will visit campus to share his personal motivational story of triumph over adversity with the Villa community. Following his recovery from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Violante shifted his focus to become a life coach, mentor, and inspirational speaker.

Once a successful investment banker, Violante discovered that his true calling was sharing messages of empowerment to Western New York’s most vulnerable populations, particularly those struggling with mental health, alcohol addiction, and substance abuse.

He has sought to empower Western NY’s most vulnerable populations for decades. Now he is coming to Villa Maria College to share his powerful story of overcoming adversity, and inspire the Villa community with a message of hope, resilience, and empowerment.

All members of the Villa community are welcome to attend this free event.
