Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends,Beginning my tenure as President of Saint Joseph’s College during our Centennial year hasbeen a tremendous gift to me. As a new member of this community, I appreciate more everyday the unique nature of this school and the individuals who comprise its soul. The history ofsacrifice and determination that has been exemplified by the Sisters of Mercy, and the entirefamily of the College, serves as an inspiration and underscores the Centennial’s theme of“Realize the Promise.”You have been the true promise of the College, through your generosity of time, monies andspirit. We have learned valuable lessons from those who have preceded us, and you arecarrying that mantle for the next generation.As you review our Annual Giving Report, celebrate yourselves and others who are makingthe Saint Joseph’s education an experience based on excellence and rooted in the rich traditionof our past.I look forward to meeting many of you in the future and sharing our exciting plans goingforward.Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.James S.
