a message from <strong>the</strong> president<br />

Dear Stonehill Alumni,<br />

Parents, and Friends:<br />

It is with pride and gratitude that I write you today to say:<br />

“The summit has been attained!”<br />

As you have likely already heard, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Attaining</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Summit</strong> campaign concluded with tremendous<br />

success this past June, surpassing its goal of $55 million and raising just over $59.5 million.<br />

At Stonehill, our greatest source of pride is our community. The success of this campaign is one of <strong>the</strong><br />

strongest testaments to <strong>the</strong> strength of that community that I have seen in more than a decade as<br />

president of this college.<br />

I hope that you, too, feel gratification for having been part of this success story. Thanks to this<br />

campaign, our students have a new science center in which to learn, better athletic facilities in which<br />

to train and to compete, more scholarship funding, which allows <strong>the</strong>m to focus on <strong>the</strong>ir studies ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />

than <strong>the</strong>ir expenses, and, overall, a stronger education in which <strong>the</strong>y, too, can take pride.<br />

This campaign saw donations from more than 14,000 alumni, parents, and friends. Each donor has a<br />

story and a reason for giving to Stonehill. In <strong>the</strong> following pages, you’ll read more about this<br />

campaign and just a few of <strong>the</strong>se wonderful donor stories.<br />

I invite you to read this book and take a moment to absorb <strong>the</strong> beauty and power of what your<br />

kindness has accomplished.<br />

I ask you to look back on how <strong>the</strong> College has changed since you first became a part of our<br />

community, and to look forward on <strong>the</strong> fantastic changes still to come as we look to <strong>the</strong> future from<br />

this new vantage point of optimism and desire to go above and beyond.<br />

With gratitude for your continued support and generosity, I remain,<br />

Sincerely in Holy Cross,<br />

Inspiration<br />
