Known as the Alumni Insider’s View…Program, it is comprised of a variety of unique opportunities that enable current students to obtain real-world knowledge about a chosen profession and/or field while drawing upon the professional experiences of our alumni.
During the 2010-2011 academic year there are 52 Alumni Insider’s View… Programs scheduled to take place both on- and off-campus, an increase of more than 100% from the 25 events of the previous academic year.

“The Alumni Insider’s View…Programs are great opportunities for both our students and alumni to benefit from interacting with each other,” said Victor Ramos ’91CBA, ’93MBA, Associate Vice President, Division of Institutional Advancement. “From the students’ point of view, they’re mentored by some of our most successful and committed alumni, and the information and guidance that they receive is really priceless.

30th Annual Insider’s View in the U.S. Capital The concept of encouraging alumni to formally share their insights and experiences with current students began three decades ago when alumni from the Washington, DC area offered students a behind-the-scenes look at what was really happening inside the Beltway. Over the years that early offering has grown in size and stature, and is now a three-day event filled with exclusive tours, panel discussions and a networking reception with area alumni. This unique experience offers students information and career advice from Washington, DC area alumni holding key positions within the government and private sectors. The agenda began with a visit to pharmacy giant MedImmune, hosted by Robert Fuentes, M.S., Pharm.D. ’77P, Senior Director for Medical Information at MedImmune and a member of the University’s Board of Governors. The following day, students gathered in the South Congressional Meeting Room of the Capitol as alumni panelists shared information about topics ranging from employment opportunities to the role of the military in the 21st century. The program concluded with a tour of the Market Watch Room of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and an exclusive look at some of the many historic locations within the United States Capitol building. “A lot of students are afraid to make the jump to DC for their careers,” said Washington, DC Alumni Chapter Leader Laura Cranston, R.Ph. ’84P, Executive Director, Pharmacy Quality Alliance, Inc. and a member of the University’s Board of Governors. “It’s important that they know that there is a large St. John’s alumni network here to support them.”

A prayerful man who wanted to deepen his own understanding of what it means to serve the poor, O’Connor took time away from his job and family to live as a modern day Vincent. “I decided to take part in the Panama Plunge because I felt that, despite my 23 years of active involvement with St. John’s, I wanted to take part in something that is perhaps the most purely Vincentian of everything our university has to offer,” said O’Connor. “Since I have been a Trustee, I have been so moved by our students, our Campus Ministers and our Vincentian priests unending zeal for service to the poor and combating social injustice.” He noted that joining the group of students in Panama was a truly transforming experience. His activities included clearing fields on a farm, expanding the foundation to the chapel in town, assisting in the production of sugar
from sugar cane and painting the local elementary school. The opportunity, however, to live with a family in Panama — to eat, laugh, pray and discuss their shared humanity — was what he treasured most in his daily routines. “The families of Panama gave us literally the food we ate, the beds we slept in and replaced the loving families we temporarily left behind in the United States,” said O’Connor. “I deeply and genuinely learned that is in giving that we receive.” According to Migliore, the most defining aspect of the Panama Plunge is “…the strengthening of everyone’s foundation of faith. Anytime our prayer life is calling us to be a stronger voice for the poor, our foundation is not only about ourselves but about others as well. What’s different about service at St. John’s is that we get to know the names and see the innate goodness of the poor that we’re serving. It allows us to see the dignity of God in everyone, which is really special.”

or as long as he can remember, John D. Birchby, Esq. ’73L wanted to go to St. John’s University. The son of alumnus Kenneth L. Birchby, Esq. ’49L, ’88HON, John recognized early in life the significance of strong family ties. He acknowledges that his father served as a powerful role model, ultimately influencing him to continue the Birchby legacy of entering the legal profession after graduating from St. John’s School of Law. “My dad was an unusual man — a fantastic father, a fantastic businessman, and he was my best friend and my guiding light. I remember when I was a little kid I asked my father what he did and where he went to school, and I remember my father saying he went to St. John’s. It was the first time I had ever heard of St. John’s, and once I found out what my father did and where he went to school, in the back of my head that’s what I wanted to do. I remember as a kid following St. John’s in basketball, and it was because my dad went to St. John’s. And I was very lucky to be able to go there myself. It’s been a life-changing experience for me.”

He enjoys the personal interactions that are such an important aspect of a small legal practice, as compared with the sense of anonymity that frequently characterizes a larger firm. “I always say it’s like being the old country doctor, where you’re giving personal help to individual clients. They’re coming to you because of who you are and what you can provide for them, and that’s a huge difference from being a corporate attorney. There’s a lot of satisfaction in that.” Being a partner in a small firm also offers an opportunity to reach out to others in personal and practical ways. “Over the years, John has hired a lot of family members, including our four boys and “St. John’s gives a niece, to work there for the summers during college,” noted his wife, Mary Beth. “A daughter of one of our good friends just finished law its students a school, and she tells everyone that she went because she wanted to be great education like Mr. Birchby. That’s the kind of role model that John has always been.” and a strong sense Despite his many accomplishments, what matters most happens at the end of his busy day, when he unwinds and shares in the love of the of caring about people who have always meant the most to him. “The most important thing to me is really Mary Beth and our four boys,” he said. “I’ve others, which means been at my law firm in Paramus, New Jersey since 1975, and it’s been a joy.

Harrington, C.M. with setting the tone that makes everyone with a connection to the University feel like they belong. “St. John’s has always gone out of its way to make me feel very comfortable,” she said. “A lot of it is Fr. Harrington, who is just a special person. He takes a personal interest in you, as does everyone on his staff. They remember you, and they always care.” The Birchbys continue to be impressed with the changes that have taken place at the University since John was a student in the early 1970s. They are pleased that while St. John’s has evolved into one of the world’s most respected institutions, its commitment to providing an exceptional education for young people who might otherwise not have had contribution to renovate it.

Wanting to express their appreciation for what St. John’s did for both of them, John and his father decided that it was important to give back to the University in a meaningful and practical way. In 2003 they established the Kenneth L. Birchby and John D. Birchby Scholarship Fund to help defray the educational expenses of several deserving students in St. John’s School of Law each year. The scholarship fund currently has assets of more than $1 million. John and Mary Beth were also instrumental in providing funding for a major facilities upgrade of a lecture hall in the School of Law, a decision that was made after John was on campus for a Continuing Legal Education course. “When I was walking through the Law School building a few years ago, I noticed that one of the lecture halls on the left had been renovated, and it looked very nice. But I saw that the other on the right looked the same as it had 35 years ago. I told Mary Beth, ‘I know The Birchby legacy at St. John’s continues we give each year to the scholarship fund, but in the person of John and Mary Beth’s son this building has a beautiful lecture hall to the Timothy, who is currently pursuing a Master’s left, and the one on the right really needs degree in Elementary Education at The School additional work.’ I spoke to [the late Law of Education.

Bricks & Mortar Update
New Outdoor Fountain As part of the ongoing beautification of the Queens campus, a sparkling fountain has been installed in an area designed to serve as a welcoming focal point for members of the University community strolling between the upper and lower campuses. The fountain measures 18 feet in diameter, with exterior walls constructed of Granite Stone Veneer over concrete block. The interior features contrasting grey and pink granite cobblestones designed to create decorative shell inserts. The location was selected to be on an axis with a new set of sweeping stairs connecting the upper and lower campuses, adding to the beauty of the recently refurbished main corridor centered on the illuminated tower of the D’Angelo Center.
Mattone Atrium St. John’s School of Law recognized the generosity of Joseph M. (‘53C, ’55L, ’94HON) and Mary Ann Mattone by naming a well-appointed and newly- refurbished room built to be the heart of its community as the Mattone Family Atrium. Michael A. Simons, Dean, St. John’s School of Law, noted that by naming the atrium after the Mattone Family, it will stand “…as a testament to what love of family, hard work, living a moral life and helping our fellow man can do for communities small and large.” Joseph and Mary Ann Mattone are among the University’s most generous and loyal supporters. They are members of The Founder’s Society, an exclusive donor recognition group reserved for those who have made gifts to St. John’s of $1 million or more during their lifetime. They are also both recipients of the Spirit of Service Award, established by St. John’s University to recognize those exceptional persons whose vision, accomplishments and good works have had a profound impact on their communities and our world.

President’s Dinner Raises $2.2 Million
When 1,052 alumni and friends of St. John’s University gathered in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf~Astoria for the 13th Annual President’s Dinner in October, they were participating in a historic event that raised $2.2 million in revenue to support student scholarships, making the 2010 event the most successful in St. John’s history. What is equally significant is that this outpouring of generosity occurred at a time when most institutions are continuing to experience a decrease in charitable contributions due to the ongoing fiscal downturn that has impacted nearly every segment of the global economy. St. John’s University President Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M. thanked those in attendance for their willingness to invest in the mission and students of the University. “This year over $200 million of our institutional funds will be given to students who need such help. Our doors must always be open to those in need, or we cease to be St. John’s University.” The highlight of every President’s Dinner is the presentation of the Spirit of Service Award to outstanding individuals who have lived their lives to reflect the Vincentian philosophy of caring and compassionate concern for Police Department and Mary Ann others. This year’s honorees included Mattone, Community Advocate. Paul J.

St. John’s awarded him the Alumni Outstanding Achievement Award in 1995, the Pietas Medal in 2003 and in 2010 conferred upon him a Doctor of Commercial Science, honoris causa. The only individual to serve as Police Commissioner of the City of New York for two separate tenures, Kelly is known as one of the world’s foremost law enforcement and counter-terrorism experts. Honored to recognize his outstanding career and unmatched commitment to public service, St. John’s presented him with a Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, in 1998, the President’s Medal in 2001 and the Medal of Honor in 2005. Mattone has been making a difference for the people of New York for her entire life. She was appointed by Mayor Rudolph Guiliani as his representative to the Queens

Alumni Tee Off for Scholarships
One of the most enduring and popular alumni events, the Alumni Golf Outing was held in October at the Nassau Country Club in Glen Cove, Long Island. This annual event attracted over 100 alumni and friends and is organized to generate funds to support the Long Island Alumni Golf Outing Scholarship Fund for St. John’s most deserving students. The 2010 Alumni Golf Outing produced nearly $70,000 in revenue for scholarship assistance. This year’s honoree was John J. Desmond ’74CBA, Partner-in- Charge of the Long Island office of Grant Thornton and a member of their Partnership Board. For this loyal alumnus, being honored by St. John’s was “…better than I could have imagined. It was a spectacular day, and the camaraderie between friends was wonderful.”
Founders Society Inducts New Members
The opportunity to make a significant commitment to the uniqueness of the St. John’s University experience as reflected in our Vincentian mission and values resonates strongly for many of our alumni and friends. For a select few, membership in The Founders Society, reserved exclusively for donors who have made gifts totaling $1 million or more to the University, represents the culmination of a lifetime of generosity that goes well beyond the norm. St. John’s University President Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M. inducted six new individuals into this prestigious organization in 2010. The most recent members of The Founders Society include William J. Janetschek, Jr. ’84CBA, Fioravante Perrotta, Esq. ’52C, ’55L, ’02HON, Michael (’91SVC) and Maria Repole and Brian (’83CBA) and Patricia Shea ’83C.
