As our fiscal year comes to a close on June 30th, we tend to reflect on the last 12 months and what a year it has been! We are so grateful to have such wonderful alumni and we have enjoyed seeing and hearing from so many of you this past year. Thank you for all your support!
We'd also like to extend special thanks to all of you who have made a gift to the University this fiscal year. For those who would still like to support Holy Family students, head to
holyfamily.edu/give.
As you will read in this issue, we are actively planning our Alumni programs and events for next year. We encourage you to mark your calendars and share with your former classmates and friends! If you would like to get more involved and/or if you would like to give us any feedback,
let us know.
Thank you and have a fantastic summer!
