With the College poised to construct a new student center, expand academic programs and develop more competitive athletic teams, there was no better time to support Saint Peter’s, according to Thomas P. Mac Mahon ’68, chairman of Students at the Center. Also serving as a member of the Board of Trustees, Mac Mahon has met with many of today’s students and has recognized the same drive and determination to succeed as he and his classmates exhibited more than 40 years ago.
A pioneer in the field of medical diagnostics, Mac Mahon is the retired chairman and chief executive officer of LabCorp, one of the world’s largest operators of clinical laboratories. “I never would have accomplished what I accomplished in life without the education, the discipline, the friendships and the confidence that I developed from my years at Saint Peter’s,” he said. The alumnus also played a pioneering role in commercializing the use of PCR, a Noble Prize-winning development that led to the analysis of human DNA.
Now, Mac Mahon has channeled that drive and determination to the Campaign. To him, it’s positive proof that alumni and other benefactors feel just as strongly about The Jesuit College of New Jersey as he does. “Anybody who has been fortunate to spend the time that I have at Saint Peter’s knows that the best times are ahead for Saint Peter’s.”
