Picture, for a moment, your favorite memory of The University of Scranton – what is it about that moment that brings it to the front of your mind’s eye?
If you’re an alumnus/na, it might be the spark of recognition that flashed as a professor helped illuminate a new concept or idea; if you’re a parent, it may be the warmth that radiated through your heart when you realized your student had found a second home; if you’re a friend, it might be something as simple as the way the afternoon sunlight danced across the stained glass of the Weinberg Memorial Library’s facade. Whatever the case may be, that moment shines through the veil of time as clearly as it did on the day it occurred, and it has helped you become the person you are today.
Now, picture what the University might look like 10 years into the future and compare it to your favorite Scranton memory. What has changed? What has remained the same? How can the University community work toward bringing that dream to life?
"The wonderful truth remains that anything and everything we do at Scranton should be and will be done for our students first. Our shared focus is precisely where it belongs: on our students and their success.”
— Rev. Joseph G. Marina, S.J., President of The University of Scranton
Since his inauguration in 2021, Rev. Joseph G. Marina, S.J., University president, has utilized the language of the second decree of the 35th Congregation of the Society of Jesus to refer to Scranton as “a fire that kindles other fires,” a sacred community that inspires its members to set “all things alight with the love of God.” Over the following pages, we will introduce you to the public phase of “A Fire That Kindles Other Fires: The Campaign To Advance Mission, Access, & Excellence,” the $135 million capital campaign that will blaze a bold new trail for the University to follow in the years to come.
The future of The University of Scranton has yet to be written – what will you do to feed the flames?
