    Saint Joseph’s University, Summer 2011 Smiles, Support and … Snowflakes? Historic Celebration Marks Alumna Finds Success, RAs, Hawk Hosts and Red Shirts Record-Breaking Capital Campaign Persistence to Earn Degree Pays Off F ROMTHE I NTERIM P RESIDENT As alumni and friends of Saint Joseph’s University, you know that Hawk Hill is a unique and wonderful place. From my own experience — as a student, former chair of the Board of Trustees, and most recently, as senior vice president — this is something I share with you. While we continue our search for Saint Joseph’s next president, with the guidance of both our Jesuit community and the Board of Trustees, I am honored to serve the University as interim president. Thanks to the vision and leadership of Nicholas S. Rashford, S.J., our 25th president, and Timothy R. Lannon, S.J., our 26th, Saint Joseph’s has been on a trajectory of growth and excellence that has taken us to places we never dreamed were possible. Rightfully so, we are proud of all of our achievements, but we are also mindful that we are charged with moving Saint Joseph’s into the future surely and confidently. The University’s mission — which is steeped in our Catholic, Jesuit heritage — is too important to be approached in any other way. In an address to the leaders of American Jesuit colleges and universities when he was Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J., affirmed: You are who your students become. Saint Joseph’s identity, then, is ultimately tied to the people our students become in the world, and the broad outline of their character reveals them to be leaders with high moral standards, whose ethics are grounded in and informed by a faith that serves justice.

  • 48 Hours in State College, Pennsylvania
    48 Hours in State College, Pennsylvania You could visit State College, Pennsylvania, and spend hours debating the merits and achievements of Penn State athletics. You could even try to figure out what exactly a Nittany Lion is? Or you could leave the diehard fans snug in their blue-and-white bubbles and trust that the Nittany Lion is a mountain lion that hasn’t roamed the slopes of nearby Mount Nittany in more than 125 years. If you take the second option—and you should—you’ll be able to spend every waking minute of your 48 hour visit to State College hiking, biking, fishing and imbibing your way around this picturesque college town. Day 1: It’s a popular spot to hike, but since you’re in Nittany Lion country, may as well hike Mount Nittany. The trail’s only 4.6-miles long but it’s dog-friendly (keep them on a leash, please) and has some excellent view of town and campus, so make this one of your first stops to get acquainted with the landscape. There are numbered spots along the trail, and most follow it going from 1 to 10, but if you go the other way—10 to 1—you’ll conquer some thigh-quivering stairs first thing and earn a little more solitude on the trail. The view from the top on Mount Nittany A longer hike, and one where you can earn more alone time as you put more miles under your boots, is Pennsylvania’s Mid State Trail. This 320-mile trail bisects the state, running from Maryland to New York and going right by State College on the way.
