campaigndonors | Robert D. Falese Jr. ’69 James J. Maguire ‘58 Campus During a long and distinguished career in banking, Robert D. Falese Jr. ’69 (B.S.) has come to be known for a signature style of lending, built upon knowing the customer’s business, the market, the collateral and the people. That kind of individualized attention – of targeting customized services – has as its educational equivalent the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis, care for the entire person. It’s no wonder, then, that when Saint Joseph’s University had the opportunity to acquire Episcopal Academy’s 38-acre Merion campus, Bob Falese came on board quickly as a major supporter. After all, the classrooms, laboratories, academic facilities, fields and green spaces comprising the campus would give the University more flexibility than it ever had in fully engaging each student individually, at his or her specific place in life. Professionally, Falese has risen through the banking ranks ever since joining First Pennsylvania Bank while still a student at Saint Joseph’s. He was recruited to Fidelity Bank in 1981 and 11 years later joined Commerce Bank, which was recently acquired by TD Bank. He currently serves as chair of commercial banking. Personally, Falese has been a valued friend of Saint Joseph’s for years, serving as a member of the Board of Trustees and member of the Board of Visitors of the Erivan K. Haub School of Business. He is also involved in various community and professional organizations, and in 2001 he and his wife Mary established a charitable foundation that provides funding for organizations engaged in Catholic education and children’s health services. “The Maguire Campus represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Saint Joseph’s,” Falese says. “What this University gave to me 40 years ago was exactly what I needed then; what Maguire will give tomorrow’s students is exactly what they will need to make this far more complicated world a better place. I am honored to assist those efforts.” was more than happy to contribute to this important initiative ... The education based on the Jesuit tradition of developing the whole person has served me well over the years, both personally and professionally. ““ I 14 president’s report why i give Robert D.

campaigndonors | Thomas J. Wynne Jr. ’63 Fieldhouse Expansion and Renovation Tom Wynne ’63 (B.S.) knows what it means to lead by example. A two-sport standout at SJU, his leadership during a sterling four-year career under legendary men’s basketball coach Dr. Jack Ramsay and an equally accomplished stint on the diamond – along with a years-long commitment to supporting the school’s various sports programs – landed Wynne in Saint Joseph’s Athletics Hall of Fame. It’s not surprising, then, that when plans were announced to transform the Fieldhouse into the more modern and upscale, yet still intimate, Michael J. Hagan ’85 Arena, Wynne once again led the way. He was the first former SJU athlete to make a leadership gift to the current Campaign, and the Hagan Arena’s new Hall of Fame Room will be named for him. Wynne (pictured below wearing number 34) credits his lengthy and successful career in telecommunications to the life skills he learned playing ball at Saint Joseph’s. “There’s a confidence factor in anything you do,” he says. “If you’re president of a company, chairman of the board or just out there working, there’s a confidence factor we all have to have in terms of how we live our lives. Confidence is built on success. Success in basketball helped me feel I was the kind of person that could succeed later in life. I had confidence in what I was able to do and what I had done at Saint Joseph’s.” University officials have long desired a basketball facility to match the passion Wynne and so many fans share for SJU hoops. In the Hagan Arena, he believes, Saint Joseph’s will enjoy such a place, a venue that will enhance not only the program but also the entire campus. “ why i give “It was a good thing for me to do ... I felt that I owed the University something for the education and my success in business as well as athletics. Thomas J. Wynne Jr. ’63
