Seton Hall Strong Overwhelming acts of kindness from Pirates around the world throughout the COVID-19 pandemic have shown the true meaning of being one Seton Hall family. Two fundraising campaigns aimed at supporting the University and its students, carried out in the initial, uncertain days of the crisis, set a bold precedent for the ways our community can rise to any occasion.
April’s Day of Caring 1,400 supporters counted. 365,000 dollars raised. In 36 hours. Despite the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19, Setonians everywhere demonstrated their Pirate Pride in a time of need; they responded in droves to the University’s call for a “Day of Caring” to help students particularly impacted by the pandemic. Great Minds Forward The motto Hazard Zet Forward has served to guide Seton Hall through the toughest of times; it continues to do so, even now.
forward To help the University rise above the challenges and maintain its ability to educate students who will become future leaders, our Pirate community rallied throughout June and July, pushing Seton Hall’s Great Minds Forward fundraising campaign to exceed expectations. Originally launched with a goal of 500 donors, the campaign attracted 1,200 donors, raising more than $85,000 for the areas of greatest need.
