A Message from the Campaign Chairs

Alvernia has an incredibly solid foundation upon which to build an exceptional future. It’s a place with an outstanding academic program. It offers a great experience outside the classroom. It serves students of all ages, and it reaches out to people in the local community and the surrounding region.

And it has the potential to do so much more. We can only imagine what Alvernia could do with expanded and improved state-of-the-art facilities and programs. Just consider how many more exceptional students and faculty members we could attract with endowed scholarships and professorships. With a more focused effort to partner with organizations and companies in the region, Alvernia’s impact—an impact with a soul—will be felt far and wide.

As our graduates go out into the world, and as our mission to serve expands, the possibilities for this truly wonderful institution expand as well. While this campaign requires funding from many sources, we especially urge our fellow alumni to tangibly express the love you feel for your alma mater. Now is an exciting time for Alvernia; help it define what a distinctive Franciscan institution can be.

Please be generous. Your gifts to Values & Vision will make a tremendous difference in many, many lives.
