PRESIDENT’S LETTER Dear friends and fans, Welcome to Jesuit Dallas and the 2020-21 basketball season. We began this year at Jesuit with the pledge to maintain a continuity of community, and despite a global health emergency that has impacted our lives in so many ways, we are blessed that our students have been afforded the opportunity to participate in one of our School’s greatest traditions – the great game of basketball! While the spiritual and academic formation of our students take priority, as Jesuit educators we place strong value on the formational life lessons learned on the playing fields, in the rehearsal halls, and as members of various clubs, teams, and organizations. Although the experience this year will be different for our participants – and fans, we anticipate the upcoming year to be another full of great potential for our young men to grow, excel, and benefit from the rigors, challenges, and joys of a competitive schedule. Thank you to our parents and benefactors, whose generosity of time, talent, and treasure enables our students to enjoy great facilities and programs that offer the finest environment for developing their talents. I would also like to thank our alumni, who continue to be a great source of inspiration and support for their alma mater. I am filled with gratitude and pride by the opportunity that our devoted community affords our current and future student-athletes. To all visitors to tonight’s game and all events on campus this season, please be reminded that the safety of our students, staff, officials, and guests is our priority. Please be considerate of others and do your part in keeping our campus safe by wearing masks at all times and through proper physical distancing in the stands and around Walsh Gym. Thank you for your help in ensuring a safe physical environment. I would like to remind us all that the success of any Jesuit athletic contest is not measured solely in the score, but in the positive impact these experiences have on developing each of our young men and adding to his formation in all areas described in the Profile of a Graduate; that he has availed himself of the opportunities provided by Jesuit, taken his God-given blessings and talents in all the areas of his being, and maximized these gifts in a life that reflects thanksgiving to a good and gracious God. Blessings,
Michael A. Earsing President Jesuit Dallas
