    SJUMagazine_Cover:Final 7/28/09 12:38 PM Page 1 Saint Joseph’s University, Winter 2008 SJU Launches Capital Campaign: Lead Gift from Hagan Family Students Get a Share With Faith and Strength to Dare to Transform Fieldhouse of Wall Street — From Campus IFC Presidents Letter:Spring 2007 7/28/09 12:39 PM Page 1 FROM THE PRESIDENT As I walk around campus and interact with the wonderful individuals and groups that make up the Saint Joseph’s community, I am reminded of the wealth of programs — academic, administrative, social and spiritual — that continue to lead us on the path to preeminence outlined in Plan 2010. As we move forward with this plan, few initiatives will be as crucial to its success as With Faith and Strength to Dare: The Campaign for Saint Joseph’s University. Earlier this fall, the campaign began in earnest with a weekend of events, including a spectacular gala to celebrate the progress made during the campaign’s silent phase and to anticipate the success going forward. A recap of this historic evening and more details of the campaign are conveyed in this magazine’s cover story. The campaign’s escalating momentum reinforces our goal of being recognized as the preeminent Catholic, comprehensive university in the Northeast. As the University’s first comprehensive campaign, With Faith and Strength to Dare is about fulfilling that vision as well as giving it meaning. Preeminence is about much more than being “bigger and better.” It is about offering the best possible living and learning experience, so we can provide to the world individuals who have critical thinking skills, intellectual curiosity and the moral discernment rooted in Christian values to create a caring and just society — to be men and women with and for others.

    Saint Joseph’s University, Fall 2010 Lifelong Learning: The Art of Inspiring Latin American Studies Alumni: They’re Doing It Their Way Youth with Disabilities Fulfilling Diverse Dreams FROM THE PRESIDENT As you may know, in September I was appointed the 24th president of my alma mater, Creighton University. My tenure there will commence next July. While it is an honor to be selected as Creighton’s next president, it is truly a bittersweet time for me. For the past seven years, I have been equally honored — and blessed — to serve and work with the extended Saint Joseph’s community. I will miss the extraordinary people and spirit of this great University when I leave Philadelphia for Omaha next June. At this writing, the Presidential Search Committee, comprised of members of the Jesuit community, University Trustees, faculty, administrators, alumni and students, is working to attract and identify Saint Joseph’s 27th president. I know that the next president will be as impressed as I was by the ardor and commitment of SJU’s alumni community. The high level of activity at and interest in Saint Joseph’s continues to impress me. We began this academic year by welcoming the Class of 2014, which is the first to pursue studies under the new General Education Program (GEP). Its design allows our students to gain a Catholic and Jesuit education that will enable them to meet the challenges of today’s world as they continue to grow in spirit, and as men and women with and for others. In this issue of SJU Magazine, you will read about the Latin American Studies (LAS) program.
