Shout-Out from Amy
It is hard to believe that today begins the football team's first official day of the 2019-2020 season. This means Fall and Stallion Football are right around the corner.  To help kick off the football season, we are gathering to celebrate the rich tradition and excellence of Stallion Football on July 27th at the Abruzzi Club.  Both, the Alumni and Athletic departments, have worked together to plan a “Night of Tradition” to celebrate the past and present families involved in the SFD Football program throughout the years.  If you are a part of the Stallion Football family, we hope you will consider joining us. Help us carry on the remarkable strength of “Stallion Pride.”


Connecting the past, strengthening the present, and promoting the future, 
Amy Faulkner
Director of Alumni and Family Engagement
Stallion Notes
Alumnus Adrian Awuah '16 was named a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Scholar at the Miami University Farmer School of Business. Adrian, a Farmer School finance and accountancy major, is the only one at Miami University and one of only 332 across the nation to receive this prestigious $10,000 scholarship.
It was wonderful to catch up with all those who attended the Alumni, Family & Friends of DeSales Reunion on July 5. Once a Stallion, always a Stallion!
