A Message from our President

kellermain.jpegDear Faculty, Staff, Students, Alumni, Parents & Friends:

As I write this letter, I only have a few months left in my tenure as interim president, and the time has flown by. I have been moved by the spirit of our students and watched as they excelled in class, served in the community and came together to experience events on campus, from the Ignatian Values lecture to the eclipse of the sun.

I am reminded every day that it is a blessing and a responsibility to attend college. Under 7 percent of the world's students are able to obtain a college education. This is why it is essential that we, in solidarity with all of the world’s people, devote our lives to share what we have fostered here together. It is my hope that attending this institution instilled a sense of connectedness with others. In the pages of this Journal, you'll read how that learned obligation shaped many alumni careers and helped them grow as citizens of the world.

I want to thank you for your support and encouragement as I continue to serve this University. I am grateful to have gotten to know so many Scranton staff, faculty, alumni, students and parents, and I look forward to many rewarding conversations in the months to come. Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, S.J., and I will continue to work together to make the presidential transition a smooth one. Beginning this summer, it will be a pleasure to continue to serve you as a past president, rector of the Scranton Jesuit Community and a member the Board.

God bless you and best wishes for a fulfilling year ahead.

Sincerely,

Herbert B. Keller, S.J.

Interim President
