President’s Message<br />
As we complete our 49th year, our 46th commencement, and my 8th year as president,<br />
we do so with a sense of profound gratitude—to God, the Brothers, our faculty and<br />
staff, and our devoted alumni.<br />
I have always said that the real test of the quality of an <strong>in</strong>stitution is the quality of its<br />
alumni. Our nearly 9,000 alumni excel <strong>in</strong> all sorts of professions. They excel <strong>in</strong> their<br />
servant leadership to their communities, their churches, and their families. As you read<br />
through this edition of the <strong>Walsh</strong> Times, you will see this demonstrated time and aga<strong>in</strong>.<br />
We’re about to launch the celebration of our 50th anniversary. As I look ahead to the<br />
planned events, the opportunities to rem<strong>in</strong>isce, the reunions, the banners, billboards,<br />
video, songs, and memory book, I get excited. I know I won’t be here for the 100th<br />
anniversary, so I am go<strong>in</strong>g to make this one special.<br />
Plan ahead. Plan to attend a few events if you live fairly close. Plan to come back—br<strong>in</strong>g<br />
your family if you choose—and see the unbelievable transformation of your alma mater.<br />
We’re <strong>in</strong>vit<strong>in</strong>g all the American Brothers to attend. We look forward to see<strong>in</strong>g you and<br />
shar<strong>in</strong>g stories. Make this someth<strong>in</strong>g special you’ll do this year. It’s a chance to relive a<br />
moment <strong>in</strong> time. It’s a chance to talk with people you may never see aga<strong>in</strong>.<br />
thanks <strong>in</strong> advance for car<strong>in</strong>g. if it truly is about the people, then come<br />
when the people are here. we look forward to your visit.<br />
Richard Jusseaume, President<br />
Class of 1967
