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