DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF NEWS WHEELING JESUIT UNIVERSITY,

It was my senior year of high school when my parents and I made the six hour trip from our hometown of Wilkes-Barre Township, Pa. to WJU. To be honest, it was their idea. As my parents recall, at the end of our campus tour they sat me down on a bench in front of the Chapel of Mary and Joseph Campus and asked, “Chris, do you like it here?” to which I responded, “I do. I really do.” I was quite surprised at the connection I already felt with the University just from my brief visit. After considering several other schools and being accepted to 25 of them, I had to make a decision and there was no way I could pass up the opportunity to attend “that little school in wild and wonderful West Virginia.”

I can even recall when I received the viewbook about Wheeling Jesuit. It had a message across the front in bold lettering: Use Your You. I understood it then and I understand it even better now. The University emphasizes that everyone is great at something and they will help ¿ nd that greatness inside of you. They certainly brought it out of me over the past year by helping me fully exercise, develop and share my talents. From singing at Sunday Mass and performing in Guys and Dolls to rebuilding communities in New Orleans and planting vegetables in East Wheeling, I thrive on being involved. I am thankful for each and every opportunity I had as a freshman.

From the many people I met during my freshman year, a man named Ricky certainly impacted me the most. He said to me, “If you smile, the whole world smiles back.” When I heard these words, I totally understood why I was a student at Wheeling Jesuit. Hopefully you will have the chance to meet 1 Ricky too, because I see and talk to “him” every day. However, if you would ask where to find him, I would not have the answer. He was a homeless man I met during my spring break service trip to New Orleans. Although our meeting lasted only a couple of minutes, Ricky created a lasting impression in my heart with his genuine kindness and caring.

I see, live, and experience these feelings from Ricky all throughout Wheeling Jesuit. I see Ricky as I walk into my dormitory. I see Ricky as I order a hoagie in the cafeteria. I see Ricky while talking with a professor. I see Ricky while I mentor an at-risk youth through our H.E.S.S. (Helping Enrich Someone Special) Program. I see Ricky everywhere. Although the real Ricky never knew what tomorrow was going to bring, where tomorrow was going to be, or how tomorrow was going to come, he did know the power and importance of a smile.

I have no doubt that Ricky will reveal himself to all of us at Wheeling Jesuit, expectedly or unexpectedly. With that in mind, I will leave you with an anonymous quote that was posted at that homeless drop-in shelter in New Orleans. “If you do not have a smile, I will give you one of mine.” I know I will always and forever be a smiling Cardinal! I loved every minute of my freshman year at WJU. I’m looking forward to continuing my growth as a student and discovering more about myself over the next few years.

Peace,

SUMMER 2010 Research That Makes WJU Different Alumni Weekend 2010

Highlighting the weekend was the launch of the 50 Year Club, a musical review performed by members of the class of 1960 and the presentation of several awards.

The Alumni Of¿ ce unveiled the Alumni Hall of Honor, a new honor that allows each anniversary class to elect and recognize one member of their class every ¿ ve years. Ten members were inducted: Rev. Joe Doyle ’60, John Bodson ’65, Lou Volpe ’70, Fr. Joseph Sanders, S.J. 1975, Paul Mulholland ’80, Cindy Kirk Mueller ’85, Neil D’Anna ’90, Dennis Maceiko 1995, Keith Bell ’00 and Miranda Hanson ’05.

Five alumni also received recognition recognized for their contributions to society, the University and their profession. An alumna and her spouse were given the prestigious Magis Award for special service to WJU’s admissions efforts.

The St. Ignatius Distinguished Alumni was presented posthumously to Michael Murphy ’70 for his contributions in the ¿ eld of architecture.

The Rev. Pedro Arrupe S.J. Distinguished Alumni Award was given this year to Marybeth Murray Emmerth ’85, a member of the WJU faculty, for her dedication to serving the students at Wheeling Jesuit. 22 More than 330 alumni from 23 states and the District of Columbia, made their way to the WJU campus June 4-6 to celebrate anniversaries during Alumni Weekend 2010.

Dear Alumni & Friends,

As I look forward to my senior year, I am grateful to all those who have made an impact on my college experience. You are one of those people.

Thanks to you and the rest of Wheeling Jesuit University’s generous donors, I receive scholarship support that allows me to obtain a quality education, make lifelong friends, develop my leadership skills, and foster a passion for helping others.

Apart from the monetary relief, it is indeed heartening to see that there are people who are taking note of the hard work and dedica- tion that most of us put in to reach our dreams. Your generosity has not only helped me move closer to my own dream but also made me realize the importance of giving back to my alma mater.

Coming from a middle class family it was not always easy paying for a private, Catholic education along with the essentials of life. Please know that without the help of donors I could not have afforded a Jesuit education. I am truly grateful to be a student at Wheeling Jesuit and I will be even more grateful after I graduate knowing that I earned a degree from a Jesuit university. Thank you again for caring enough to give back to Wheeling Jesuit and help students like me realize our dreams. 35

I hope you will continue to renew your annual support to Wheeling Jesuit University and ensure that future WJU students are blessed with the same opportunities that I have received.

With deep gratitude,
