GREETING SAINTS, W
ith spring finally here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I am pleased to share that our Saint Martin’s University community has enjoyed many successes this year. On behalf of our leadership, staff and faculty, I would like to personally thank you for your ongoing support, which is the fuel for our mission and our work.
I would also like to acknowledge the students who fill our classrooms, our community and our hearts every day. They are why we are here our raison d'être. They have made my inaugural year at Saint Martin’s one to treasure, and I encourage you to find ways to spend time with them, too. You will meet students on a journey of becoming life-long learners, critical thinkers, creative problem-solvers and future leaders who will make a real difference in the world.
Because of you, March was an amazing month for Saint Martin’s and our students. We hosted our annual day of giving 3.21GIVE which was a record-breaking year on several fronts: You gave more than $250,000 for student success, and more people made gifts than ever before. Across campus we shined a light on the importance of service in philanthropy with students, staff and faculty donating more than 100 hours to beautify our campus, giving 38 pints of blood and writing 60 letters to military service members and retirement home residents!
We have made tremendous progress in our efforts to develop a three-year strategic plan for Saint Martin’s, which will launch in July, and serve as a compass to guide our future success. Our strategic focus continues to rally around four priorities: People, Purpose, Place and Performance. This summer I look forward to sharing the elements of our strategic plan and kick-off our annual improvement projects for fiscal year 2024.
I would like to close the way I began by thanking you. Thank you for believing in us. And, thank you for continuing to be the fuel that keeps Saint Martin’s moving forward. Go Saints!
