A Window to the Soul How Reflection Deepens Service
Saint Joseph’s University, Spring 2009 A Window to the Soul How Reflection Deepens Service Sr. Mary Scullion, R.S.M. ’76 Take Our Pop Quiz! Arrupe Center Execs Expose Brings Them H.O.M.E. Ethical Implications of Economic Crisis FROM THE PRESIDENT There is no question that the current global economic situation has affected all of us, as well as our loved ones, in real and palpable ways. Optimistic headlines seem infrequent, and many of us face significant financial challenges. At Saint Joseph’s, these are trying times as well, and it is important that we remain true to our core mission as a Catholic and Jesuit university. Our highest priority remains providing an excellent educational experience for our students as we work to manage our expenses without jeopardizing any of our programs. Recently released statistics related to the state of higher education in our country are alarming. A report from the College Board’s Commission on Access, Admissions and Success in Higher Education discloses the startling decline of educational attainment in the United States. According to this study, our nation’s college completion rates have plummeted. Though we were once ranked second in the world for workers aged 25 – 34 with advanced degrees, we now rank 11th. America is in danger of losing its place as a world leader in education. Now, more than ever, given the extreme economic environment, it is essential that our country make a lasting commitment to educating those who are qualified. I am truly grateful to our alumni and benefactors who have taken a leadership role in support of Saint Joseph’s and especially thankful to those who continue to do so during these difficult economic times.

Phillies' Manuel Joins Elit
| Sign In | Register powered by: 7:10 PM ET CSN/FxFl Prev Philadelphia (58-48, 26-31 Road) Hea HAS BEEN CURED BY DOC'S PITCHING Florida (53-53, 28-27 Home) Eagles Phillies Flyers Sixers College Union Rally Extra Fantasy Smack Columns NEWS VIDEO PHOTOS SCORES SCHEDULE TICKETS ODDS FORUM STANDINGS STATS ROSTER SH Phillies' Manuel joins elite 500-win club LATEST PHILLIES By Rich Westcott POSTED: August 4, 2010 For The Inquirer EMAIL PRINT SIZE 12 COMMENTS Recommend The Little General, The Father of Baseball, and the Wizard of Oz have a new partner. Charlie Manuel has become part of their group. When the Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies at the end of July, Manuel became the fourth manager in Phillies history to lead the club to 500 wins. In so doing, Manuel joined Gene Mauch (646 wins), Harry Wright (636), and Danny Ozark (594) as Phillies skippers who have won 500 or more games. Manuel achieved his lofty status faster than the other three. He did it midway through his sixth season, just 16 days before Ozark won his 500th. Mauch, the Phillies' skipper from 1960-68, reached the milestone in his seventh season, while Wright (1884-93), managing in seasons when the schedules were considerably shorter, took nine years to get there. Now 66 and the oldest manager in team history, Manuel has led the Phillies to levels none of the other three ever did. His Phillies have gone to the World Series twice, and he is the only manager whose teams have posted 85 or more wins five straight years.
