Scholarship Recognition Reception
Record numbers of students, donors, and family members attended the annual Scholarship Recognition Reception, held Friday, Sept. 28 under the “big top,”a large tent erected behind the Alfond Center to accommodate 260 guests. Both individuals who have supported the College’s scholarship program through annual and endowed gifts and businesses who supported the Corporate Alliance Program for Scholarships last year met the students who benefit from their generosity.
Legacy Luncheon
President Joe Lee hosted a private luncheon for our legacy families during Parent’s weekend. There are currently 25 students attending Saint Joseph’s whose parent or parents are also proud graduates. It was a lovely afternoon discussing the past, present and future of the College. We look forward to welcoming more children of our alumni to continue the traditions at Saint Joseph’s.
Coming soon: THE ROCK
Reconnecting Our College Kinship
SJC Alumni Come Together!
THE ROCK, the new SJC online community, has an online directory for alumni
to contact friends. Every member decides what type of personal information
to post and how much of that information to make available on his/her

the community. The ROCK makes reconnecting with the College and other
alumni easier than ever.
Here are some additional features of the ROCK:
• Social networking
• Reconnecting space to find your classmates
• Learn about alumni events
• Read campus news
• Find sports schedules
• Post to message boards
• Upload Class Notes
