Director's Message
MAY 2012
The month of May ... time for the flowers to appear after those April showers ... or so they say! On a university campus, that "flowering" is what we call Commencement ... the beginning of life in the "real world" for all our graduating students.
Much is being said about the spiraling costs (and debt) of a college education. While we leave that to the accountants, one thing we do know is growing is the number of students who have completed programs through the Salesian Center for Faith & Culture. Students in our ► Faith & Reason Honors Program completed six special seminars over their four years and wrote/presented an honors thesis this semester. Students in our ► Salesian Leadership Institute completed a two-year program that entailed two off-campus retreats, eleven interactive sessions, and six business workshops.
It may take some time for their flowering to appear in that real world, but we have every confidence that these programs, so generously endowed through gifts and grants, will make a big difference in the lives of these graduating students and among those with whom they interact.
As another traditional academic year draws to a close, we invite you to keep in touch via our social media to see what we have in store for 2012-2013 ... which will be here before we know it!

"A specific priority is the need to examine the predominant values and norms of modern society and culture in a Christian perspective, and the responsibility to try to communicate to society those ethical and religious principles which give full meaning to human life."
