A Message from our President
Dear Friends: 
St. Ignatius tells us “Love is shown more in deeds than in words.” Our fall issue of The Scranton Journal examines this Jesuit axiom at work across the nation and throughout our University community.
Read about the commitment of our alumni far and near who lead with knowledge and devotion to advance the corporal welfare of others. In this issue, they outline their pathways to high-level roles within health care administration that began with the University’s academic programs and the mentoring they received at Scranton.
Another feature close to home celebrates three years of excellence and determination from our Prison Education Program’s first cohort of graduates. The faculty involved model respect for the uniqueness of each member of the University community and, in doing so, remind nine incarcerated students of their value in the world.
In the pages ahead, you will meet Robert S. ’68 and Marilyn A. Weiss, who give freely of themselves to make a transformational investment in current and future Royals; Jimmy Lynett ’97, who creates magical customer experiences on multiple continents; and Gene Manning ’71, whose philanthropy ensures that Scranton students will benefit from the same Jesuit education he received more than half a century ago.
This issue would not be complete without recognizing our Philosophy Department, which places the University among the best in the nation for enrollment of women in top-tier doctorate programs. These high-achieving Royals and the professors who have supported them along the way share their SJLA formula for success in the pages that follow.
As we enter a new academic year, let’s keep gratitude as a central focus. Please continue to remember the University in your prayers and be assured of mine in return. GO ROYALS!!
Yours Faithfully,
Rev. Joseph G. Marina, S.J.
President
