    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.
