A Message from the President Scranton’s 42,500 alumni proudly wear royal purple all over the states and countries where they live. For some alumni, their Scranton days were WINTER 2009-10 • Volume 31, Number 1 Editor Valarie J. Clark Designer Francene M. Dudziec Contributing Editors Kevin Southard Stan M.

Scott R. Pilarz, S.J. a mere five years ago; for others, it was 40 or even 50 years ago that they walked across the stage to receive that coveted diploma that forever changed their lives. Despite the many paths they have traveled and the various places their lives have taken them, our alumni have stayed connected to their alma mater. Some are actively involved in their alumni club or Alumni Society. Others are mentors, benefactors, or ambassadors. Still others remain engaged through friendships that withstand the test of time. I’ve often been heard saying that there is nothing quite like a Scranton education. As I read through the profiles of the alumni featured in this issue of The Scranton Journal, I was more convinced than ever that Scranton is, indeed, a unique and incomparable place. With a Scranton education, all things seem possible. It is a place where God’s good grace has shaped and formed generations of alumni who have gone out to set the world on fire. But, as our Alma Mater reminds us, “Memories of our Scranton days will last whatever next appears.” With Alumni Reunion on the horizon for June 11–13, 2010, I invite you to return to campus to that sacred ground where you became part of an extraordinary community that is fully and rightfully yours.
