The Statement of Mission for Saint Joseph’s College speaks to our
reason for being---our raison d’etre. As Vice President for Sponsorship
and Mission Integration, I endeavor to make certain that what we say in
the Statement is incorporated into our teaching, administrative and student
operations. In short, I focus on ways to make the Statement a living,
breathing reality, not simply a formula of words.
