important for us <strong>to</strong> give back ...<br />
We had a great experience at <strong>Saint</strong> Joseph’s.<br />
If that’s something that you value, you’ll look <strong>to</strong><br />
preserve it for future generations.<br />

The <strong>Saint</strong> Joseph’s Fund<br />
Brianne (Zeier) ’02 (B.S.) <strong>and</strong> Michael MacKenzie ’02 (B.A.) don’t have <strong>to</strong> look very far <strong>to</strong> find a reason<br />
<strong>to</strong> support <strong>Saint</strong> Joseph’s.<br />

The pair met as freshmen in the fall of 1998, <strong>and</strong> what they experienced on campus — separately <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>to</strong>gether — made their decision <strong>to</strong> give <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Saint</strong> Joseph’s Fund an easy one once their careers were<br />
under way <strong>and</strong> they were married.<br />
“The experience we had at <strong>Saint</strong> Joseph’s <strong>and</strong> the traditions it brought in<strong>to</strong> our lives are very important<br />
<strong>to</strong> us,” Brianne says. “We want <strong>to</strong> make sure that experience is there for future generations.”<br />
Mike says his connection with the <strong>University</strong> began at orientation; it was nurtured through involvement<br />
with Campus Ministry <strong>and</strong> the pep b<strong>and</strong>, for which he still plays. Brianne, like Mike, was <strong>and</strong> is an active<br />

fulfillment within <strong>Saint</strong> Joseph’s Service Learning program.<br />
Both Brianne <strong>and</strong> Mike are quick <strong>to</strong> point out that<br />
supporting the <strong>Saint</strong> Joseph’s Fund is their way <strong>to</strong><br />
ensure that the <strong>University</strong>’s growth <strong>and</strong> expansion allow<br />
<strong>to</strong>morrow’s students <strong>to</strong> become as fully immersed in<br />
the institution’s mission as they were – <strong>and</strong> still are.<br />
The Fund’s focus on funding current initiatives, especially<br />
scholarships <strong>and</strong> financial aid, gives their gift immediate<br />
impact for those who have followed them.<br />
