Inside the Fall 2011 College Magazine
We Rejoice! | It is a time of great joy for the Saint Peter’s College community. Support of Students at the Center: The Campaign for Saint Peter’s College is enriching our Jesuit Mission and Identity in profound ways. The generosity of a single benefactor will bring a Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible to campus, a celebrated work that will deepen our connections with each other and God. Campus ministry programs are thriving. And St. Aedan’s: The Saint Peter’s College Church is alive with spiritual and faith-filled activity led by the Jesuits of Saint Peter’s.
Campaign Update | It’s full speed ahead for the student center at Saint Peter’s College. On July 20, the College began demolition on four Glenwood Avenue buildings, including Cushing Alumni House. A few days before the demolition began, alumni and employees paid a formal farewell to Cushing and left personal messages and drawings on the interior walls.
Peacock Blue | The Saint Peter’s women’s track and field team emerged as the hands-down team to beat last year, capturing both the indoor and outdoor Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) championships. The season ahead looks just as promising.
A Tribute to Heroes | A multi-year project to honor members of the Saint Peter’s College community for their wartime sacrifices will culminate in a new veterans memorial and website honoring their heroic deeds.
Remembering 9/11 | A few miles from Ground Zero and the 9/11 Memorial in New York, the College community gathered on September 12 for an interfaith prayer service to remember and reflect on the events of September 11, 2001.
