Dear Alumni,

One building goes up … the next comes down. It was incredibly exciting to open our Eggers Innovation Center, and we’re just as thrilled to see crews move forward on the new Welcome Center that will take the place of the 100 Building. The 100 Building held many memories, but we’re looking forward to the new experiences we’ll have in the Welcome Center. As parents, we always want better for our children, and similarly as alumni we should want better for the current and future generations of our students.

In that same vein of progress we are looking to make some changes in our Alumni Council. We’re seeking to add more alumni to strategic groups and leverage their work as volunteers for professional networking, social engagement, school/student engagement and advancement activities. Just like the construction crews that are currently outside my office working so hard on the foundation of the new building, we are working on laying the groundwork for an exciting future for the alumni department and our Saint Francis community. Please let us know if you would like to help.

A few events for you to put on your calendar: All alumni are invited to the Lancer Car Show on campus on Sunday, April 30, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’ll be a day of fun and connections, and I hope to see many alumni on campus that day! Additionally, during our Saint Francis Day of Giving on May 2, you will have an opportunity to give to our Saint Francis Fund, which supports academics, student activities, spiritual enrichment, technology and innovation, tuition assistance, arts and athletics, student leadership as well as new programs and activities. The Saint Francis Fund makes a difference in the daily lives of our entire Saint Francis community. Join in and pay tribute to your favorite Lancer educators with stories of how they impacted you. Like with all families, it’s fun to reminisce, and it’s also meaningful to look forward to continued camaraderie and collaboration. Most importantly, it’s vital to periodically stop and take time to say how grateful we are for each other.

With appreciation for our wonderful alumni, we are happy to host the 2023 Grand Reunion on Saturday, Aug. 26, for all Saint Francis and Holy Cross alumni classes ending in “3” and “8” beginning with the 10year reunion for the Class of 2013.

As Lancer family members, we share traditions, Holy Cross values and genuine care and concern for each other. Just as importantly, we share fun times and laughter. I look forward to welcoming you back to campus for some of our activities.

Our tradition continues … Go Lancers!
