elcome to the July 2017 — June 2018 University Advancement Annual Report. On these pages, you will find a wide variety of students, alumni, parents, administrators and friends who strengthened their connections to Seton Hall last year. And what a year it was! A new School of Medicine, new Interprofessional Health Sciences campus and new landmark welcome center in South Orange are just some of the milestones we celebrate here. To be sure, none of our accomplishments would have been possible without the time, talent and philanthropy of people who are deeply connected to Seton Hall and want the best for her. People just like you. And I am happy to tell you that more graduates supported the University in 2017-18 than at any time in our recent history — a more than 20 percent increase over the previous year. Pirate alumni are among the University’s greatest ambassadors and a main reason why our alma mater can continue to foster servant leaders who make the world a better place. For a connection to last, it must be nurtured. And your connection to Seton Hall is no different. Luckily, the University provides a host of opportunities to immerse yourself in a wonderful network of thriving and passionate graduates. No matter where they live or which careers they pursue, Pirate alumni share a heartfelt recognition of their common experience and a desire to assist our students and each other. I hope you take an extra measure of pride in your University after reading this report. And I hope your pride encourages you to deepen your connection with Seton Hall this year. The bonds of affection between Setonians and the University they love last a lifetime. Go Pirates! With much gratitude,

GET TO 10 CONNECTING FOR A COMMON GOAL

Interim President Mary J. Meehan ’72/M.A. ’74/Ph.D. ’01 issued a bold challenge to the Seton Hall community in 2017: Help us “Get to 10” and reach an undergraduate alumni giving rate of 10 percent. As usual, Setonians rose to the challenge: n Giving increased from 8.3 to 10.2 percent, an astounding 20+

percent jump in just one year. n More than 5,200 donors responded, compared to 4,100 the previous year.

I knew we could do it, and you proved me right, because when Seton Hall folks get together and set our minds on something, we can do anything.

INTERIM PRESIDENT MARY J. MEEHAN, Ph.D.

n Pirates rallied around Seton Hall’s first Giving Day, with

1,100 gifts totaling more than $167,000. Reaching this double-digit threshold is more than merely symbolic. The generosity of our alumni profoundly impacts students every day through scholarships, revitalized academic programs, support for research and teaching innovations, new and renovated facilities, and funding for clubs, organizations and student outreach into the community. Philanthropy changes lives, and these gifts will inspire students to keep the momentum going as donors when they become alumni, paving the way for new generations of Pirates.

BETHANY HALL CONNECTING THE PAST AND FUTURE

My family and I have been with the warmth and caring of Monsignor Sheeran ministering to us as a priest and pastor, then experiencing his vision and leadership as a University president. His life’s actions for us and many families at Seton Hall are resonant with the lessons of Bethany.

Seton Hall dedicated a new welcome center in June in honor of Monsignor Robert Sheeran ’67, whose 30 years of priestly service to the University included 15 years as president. Positioned at the main entrance to campus, Bethany Hall is named after the Biblical village where Mary, Martha and their brother Lazarus received Jesus into their home. Offering a welcoming first impression to prospective students and families, the three-story 68,000-square-foot building is the central location for all admissions activities. Bethany Hall features a below-level parking garage, an admissions suite, event and meeting rooms, pre-function/gallery space, and provides a home for University events. “The building will be the point of entry for future Pirates,” said Interim President Mary J. Meehan, “welcoming young people just beginning their lifelong relationship with Seton Hall.”

NEW HEALTH SCIENCES CAMPUS CONNECTING HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

2,500

Seton Hall’s Interprofessional Health Sciences campus in Nutley and Clifton, New Jersey, made its grand opening in 2018. The IHS campus, which houses the new Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine at Seton Hall University as well as the College of Nursing and the School of Health and Medical Sciences, connects students and faculty in an innovative way to foster a team-based approach to health care. The pathbreaking educational model eliminates historical barriers between disciplines, connecting people through communication and collaboration. In the classroom and beyond — including labs, simulations and community engagements — our students and faculty work in cross-disciplinary teams to better understand healthcare issues from many perspectives. We aim to transform how students are educated for the real world, producing a workforce of physicians, nurses, occupational and physical therapists, physician assistants and other allied health professionals dedicated to delivering excellent care to people from all backgrounds.

On May 30, the campus officially kicked off with the opening of the medical school, attended by Gov. Phil Murphy and federal, state and local legislators, along with senior leadership from Seton Hall and Hackensack Meridian Health, plus the deans, faculty and staff of the individual schools. The event featured a ribbon cutting, tours and a special appearance by the Pirate.

The spectacular new campus features a thoroughly modern library — a largely digital information commons staffed by several librarians. It also houses a chapel, home to a new chaplain.

Since 2015, Seton Hall has hosted this semiannual breakfast series that enables alumni executives to network while learning the latest business strategies from top industry leaders. The program provides graduates with career advancement opportunities while strengthening the University’s impact on the business community. NBA legend Bill Walton and Curt Steinhorst, an entrepreneur and the founder of FocusWise, have spoken in previous years, and the 2017-18 lineup featured Liz Claman of Fox Business News and Joe Theismann, a football legend. ESPN anchor John Brickley ’06 emceed the event featuring Theismann, where the Washington Redskins great encouraged alumni to engage with Seton Hall students to share experiences and build strong bonds with the alumni of the future. “Teach current students about the essence of being a part of the culture of Seton Hall,” Theismann urged.

As an alumna of Seton Hall, I’ve enjoyed reconnecting with fellow graduates, particularly at the Executive Suite Series. o t Suite events.” LISA DONOGHUE ’95/M.B.A. ’96, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND SENIOR CLIENT MANAGER, BANK OF AMERICA

In June, Seton Hall launched Pirate Connect, an online mentoring platform exclusive to the University community. A partnership between the Office of Alumni Relations and the Career Center, Pirate Connect continues Seton Hall’s lifelong relationship with alumni, who use this new software tool to find and reconnect with fellow graduates, expand their professional network, advance their careers, and give back to the Pirate community by mentoring and employing alumni and graduating students. Soon Pirate Connect will be available to students as well, enabling them to connect with alumni and explore career opportunities.

VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION CONNECTING ALUMNI AND FRIENDS TO CAMPUS AND STUDENTS

Once a Pirate, always a Pirate — which is why growing numbers of Seton Hall alumni are re-engaging with the University through volunteer activities on campus and beyond. In response, we have expanded ways for all graduates to remain involved through admissions events, mentorship opportunities, regional alumni chapters and clubs, community service activities, and board and committee memberships. Last year’s Seton Hall volunteers represented 31 states, further expanding the reach of Pirate Nation. The University held its sixth annual Volunteer Recognition Dinner at the Morris Museum, a celebration of those who dedicate themselves to advancing the mission of Seton Hall.

I give back to Seton Hall to show thanks for my amazing collegiate experience and to not only replicate, but also enhance, that experience for future Pirates.

SENIOR CLASS GIFT CONNECTING THE GRADUATING CLASS WITH SETON HALL — AND EACH OTHER

It’s a great opportunity for seniors to give back and continue the legacy that others established.

LEANNE PINARD, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF ANNUAL GIVING

18 | UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2018

The Class of 2018 demonstrated its love for Seton Hall with an incredible show of support. The students easily surpassed their goal of collecting 500 donations for their senior class gift, and thanks to a challenge from an anonymous donor, every 100 gifts unlocked $1,000 in matching donations. With most of the gifts earmarked for the Student Emergency Fund, the more than $5,000 raised will aid students whose family circumstances have caused a sudden financial hardship and who need a boost to cover the cost of tuition or funds to help with travel to an internship. Through their gift, the seniors helped others in a time of need. All told, almost 40 percent of the Class of 2018 participated in giving, compared to 12 percent of the previous year’s class, setting the bar even higher for the Class of 2019.

PARENTS CONNECTING FOR LIFE

JOSEPH ’84 AND DENISE ’83 BIONDI WITH SON JAKE.

Seton Hall parents share their student’s journey through college and remain Pirates for life. Many form a strong bond with the University from the outset, supporting students in myriad ways. Dr. Maria Sicat-Fagel and Dr. Pantaleon Fagel are honoring the life-changing experience the University provided their daughter Adeline ’18, who fell in love with Seton Hall when she was choosing a college. But she got off to a rocky start as a pre-med student, and contemplated taking a leave of absence. She told Associate Dean Christopher Kaiser about her passion for Asian studies and Japanese language courses, and he connected her with Professor Shigeru Osuka, who became her mentor. Adeline went on to major in Asian studies, graduating summa cum laude and winning an academic award for excellence in the study of Japanese. She’s now headed to Japan to teach English and is considering a career in international business. The Fagels have established an endowment honoring Osuka that will support summer study abroad opportunities through the Seton Hall-Japan Exchange Program with Sophia University. The couple also joined the Parents Leadership Council, hosting prospective and current Seton Hall students in their home, including students from Osuka’s home state of Hawaii.

Joseph ’84 and Denise ’83 Biondi met on campus as part of a spiritual retreat program for high school students. Later, as Seton Hall students, their educations led to long and successful careers — as a business executive for Joe and as a research chemist for Denise. When their son Jake chose Seton Hall, his parents were overjoyed. “We knew Seton Hall would provide the best education for Jake,” they said. UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2018 | 21


CATHOLIC MISSION CONNECTING WITH CHRIST

SISTER MARIE THERESE NGUYEN

22 | UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2018

A new scholarship program at the Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology is expanding Seton Hall’s international connections of faith. Funded by members of the Seminary Board of Overseers, the scholarship will help bring the Good News of Jesus to marginalized corners of the world. Sister Marie Therese Nguyen, the inaugural scholarship recipient, completed an associate’s degree in theology at Assumption College for Sisters in Denville, New Jersey, the only school in the United States focused on the formation of religious sisters. The full scholarship will enable her to complete her baccalaureate studies at Seton Hall. Sister Marie Therese hails from Vietnam, where she was raised Catholic under Communist rule. Upon completing her degree, she will return to Vietnam to help others find God. “I will be able to share what I have learned with the young women who come to our congregation to explore the religious life,” she said. “I also will be able to minister to the people who are very poor and do not have the opportunity to go to school for education.”

Private funding supported many mission trips during the year. Seminarian Braillam Vanegas joined several parishioners from Saint Michael’s Church in Netcong, New Jersey, on a 10-day mission to Haiti, where the group helped children and the elderly in asylums for the disabled, orphanages and nursing homes. “My experience in Haiti made me appreciate how much

nourishment I get from spiritual life,” Vanegas said, “and how little I get from material things.” Similarly, seminarian Andrew De Silva, who completed a grant-funded mission in Bolivia, South America’s poorest country, said, “No matter how much I gave, I always received so much back. I wish everyone could have that experience.”

GREAT MIND OF THE WEEK CONNECTING WITH BRILLIANT IDEAS

This is our opportunity to show the world how great Seton Hall really is.

DAN KALMANSON, ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT, PUBLIC RELATIONS AND MARKETING

Branding campaigns help a university achieve enrollment goals, enhance its national reputation, engage its alumni and increase donor support. With those aims in mind, Seton Hall continued promoting its new campaign, “What Great Minds Can Do,” through key messages, national image ads, graduate program ads and an undergraduate admissions viewbook — all demonstrating the many connections Pirates have with great achievements. Seton Hall launched a feature called “Great Mind of the Week” highlighting the academic and scholarly accomplishments of our faculty, students and alumni. Among those featured have been Jose Lopez, a physics professor who works with NASA; Father Edwin Leahy, who runs the nationally acclaimed Saint Benedict’s Prep in Newark; and Father Stanley Jaki, a distinguished professor of physics, who was awarded the prestigious Templeton Prize in 1987 and whom Aleteia named one of five Catholic scientists who “shaped our understanding of the world.”

The New Jersey chapter of the Public Relations Society of America recognized the “What Great Minds Can Do” campaign’s quality last year with an honorable mention in the special programs category of its Pyramid Awards.

SETON HALL MAGAZINE CONNECTING PIRATES BY TELLING SETON HALL’S STORIES

In a recent reader survey, more than 80 percent of respondents said Seton Hall magazine strengthened their connection to the University. Alumni said the magazine helps them keep in touch with fellow graduates, provides useful career information and serves as a valuable source of continuing education. In turn, they are more likely to attend a University event, contact a classmate, recommend the University to others and make a donation. Readers were treated to a wide range of stimulating articles last year, including stories on: n Fifty years of gender integration on campus

These honors reflect the many wonderful accomplishments of the subjects we feature from the Seton Hall family.

PEGEEN HOPKINS, DIRECTOR OF PUBLICATIONS/ UNIVERSITY EDITOR

26 | UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2018

n The powerful symbolism of the Mother Seton statue n A trauma surgeon caring for victims of the Las Vegas mass shooting n A doctor leading the fight against AIDS

The magazine’s outstanding quality has not gone unnoticed. It received a Pyramid Award and a “Best in Show” accolade last year from the New Jersey Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America, “achieving the highest standards of excellence in the commu-

nications profession” in the magazines category. In addition, the Garden State Journalists Association recognized the magazine with a second-place honor in the publications category and a first-place award for a story on inventor Walter Alina ’56.

MEDIA RELATIONS CONNECTING SETON HALL WITH THE WORLD

Seton Hall’s growing national profile is reflected by the widespread media coverage of our faculty and student accomplishments. One prominent example last year was James Kimble, associate professor of communication in the College of Communication and the Arts, whose scholarship on Rosie the Riveter gained national and international exposure. Following the death of the real-life inspiration for the iconic “We Can Do It!” World War II-era poster, Professor Kimble’s work on the symbolic importance and true identity of Rosie the Riveter was broadcast across the globe. His research was featured on the front page of The New York Times, CNN, USA Today, Time and ABC News among other outlets nationally and the BBC, The Japan Times and the South China Morning Post internationally.

The Seton Hall Sports Poll, sponsored by the Stillman School of Business and the Sharkey Institute, paid strong earned media dividends for the University last year. Not counting social media, The Sports Poll generated 1,393 media placements with an excess of $1.5M in ad placement value, more than tripling the successful results of the previous year.

SETON HALL AND SOUTH ORANGE CONNECTING THE UNIVERSITY AND THE VILLAGE

Seton Hall and the Village of South Orange form one community, a relationship that involves and benefits everyone. University staff and faculty develop mutually beneficial partnerships with elected officials, agencies and community leaders. Through the Village Liaisons program, students engage with local residents and serve as a bridge between the community and the University. A number of events last year highlighted the partnership, including the Food Truck Festival during Seton Hall Weekend and the fourth annual PlayDay South Orange, which featured games, events and interactive projects. Last winter, Seton Hall Athletics and the South Orange Village Center Alliance sponsored two “South Orange Days” around men’s and women’s basketball games. In January, residents participated in a pregame party before hopping on a free shuttle to the Prudential Center to watch the men’s team take on the Xavier University Musketeers. And in February, South Orange and Maplewood residents saw the women’s basketball team take on the DePaul University Blue Demons in the historic Walsh Gymnasium on campus.

Seton Hall also connects neighboring community members with policy makers and business leaders discussing social issues. In March, the University hosted Gov. Phil Murphy and Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, who spoke about what Pope Francis 30 | UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2018

means to the working men and women of America. Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R., Archbishop of Newark, offered thoughts on the historic alliance of the Catholic Church and organized labor in American history.
